HOUSTON -- For the first time in team history, the Houston Texans will hold part of their 2017 training camp away from the team’s facility in Houston.
On Thursday, the team announced that they will train for at least part of the summer at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The Texans have not announced how long they will practice there.
Last week, owner Bob McNair said they were considering the facility because of how hot Houston gets in August.
“One of the issues we’ve debated from our first day here is what the effect of the heat and humidity is in training camp and whether that puts our team at a disadvantage by staying here,” McNair said.
