On Tuesday, the Texans depart for West Virginia. For the first time in franchise history, the team will hold camp at a site other than right across the street from NRG Stadium at the Houston Methodist Training Center.
What are the benefits of holding camp away from Houston?
1. Cooler temperatures
Getting away from 100-degree temperatures and stifling humidity is probably the biggest change with practicing outside of Houston.
Yes. From what I understand, it's not 110 degrees there with 248% humidity. https://t.co/IpyBQXnmvz
