The Houston Texans will have been off for 42 days by the time training camp opens July 26 at Houston Methodist Training Center.
While players and coaches enjoy the long layoff between offseason workouts and the six-month grind of the regular season, new Texans running back Devin Singletary finds ways to utilize the break to get ready for the season.
“Me personally, I take a couple days off, a few days off and then get right back to the grind,” Singletary told reporters June 14 after mandatory minicamp. “My mindset is: it’s not really time to chill. We’re on a mission and I understand that. I want to be a big part of that mission. So, I’m going to take a few days off and then get right back to it.”
Singletary signed a one-year contract worth a maximum of $3.75 million. The former Buffalo Bills 2019 third-rounder sees himself as a complement to second-year running back Dameon Pierce.
