Texans Morning Huddle – Prayers go out for Dawson’s family
Good morning everybody! It’s Wednesday and we are officially halfway through the work week, which means we’re one week closer to seeing our Houston Texans suit up and take on the Kansas City Chiefs! In some opinions, that’s reason enough to celebrate. Hopefully you share this opinion with us, here at the Toro Times!
First off, everyone here at the TT would like to send our sincere condolences to the friends and family of ex-Texans player, JaJuan Dawson. Our hearts go out to you, not because he was a football player, but because no family should have to shoulder the loss of a loved one, so young.
This unfortunate and tragic news is not all that’s happened, regarding our Texan-related concerns. Check it out!
