Texans beat writer Stephanie Stradley on Andre Johnson's hamstring injury: "For what it is worth, I was told through a trusted source that Andre Johnson received Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. I have not received confirmation from anyone with the team or his agent, given their stance that they are not going to comment on the specific procedure. I have no idea on the details of the injury other than what has been reported "a slight tear in his right hamstring." That a player received PRP therapy can tell you nothing about how quickly they will return. All I know."

Expectations are high, externally and internally, for TE Jimmy Graham heading into his second season. He will be taking on a much bigger role now that the Saints have released veteran Jeremy Shockey. Already in the first two preseason games, Graham has been targeted four times on third-down passing plays.

"I am 10 times better than I was last year at this point," Graham said. "But for me, it's still working hard and keep taking those baby steps to be the best I can be. And try to see what my role is going to be this season compared to last season and just be prepared for whatever I might get."

"You know, last year Drew would call a play, then I'm thinking of where I have to be, where I have to go," Graham said. "Now it's me looking down the field, trying to figure out what the defense is now. That's a big step from last year, and I know it's only going to get better."

"It's easy to spot just raw talent, which he obviously is," Brees said. "Then to actually play the tight end position with a knowledge and an understanding of the bigger picture, and understanding that I have an important role in the blocking scheme, I have an important role on certain routes where I'm not getting the ball, I am the go-to guy a lot, and I understand how they are going to start playing me. He is in a position now, especially when you go through a camp like this where he is running around a lot, he is doing a lot of physical things, so he is getting beat up a little bit. You have to fight through a lot of that stuff and understand what it is to play tight end in the NFL.

"He is a guy who loves football. I think that is one of the most important things; he loves the game. He wants to be great, and he is willing to work to do that. That is everything that you would want in a guy. He listens. He's not one of those guys that thinks that he is a better athlete than everybody else, and he can go out there with just raw talent and just beat you. He is starting to understand how important technique and fundamentals are."
