The Facts: Hard Knocks is coming to Houston. The Texans announced Wednesday that they will take part in the 10th season of the acclaimed HBO documentary series that offers an inside look at NFL training camp. The season premiers Aug. 11.
Diehards Line:
The Texans are the first AFC South team to make a star turn on Hard Knocks and the fifth AFC team to appear on the show in the past six years. Houston was among the nine teams that the NFL could require to appear on the show in accordance to a league rule passed in 2013, though it's possible -- and probably likely -- that the franchise is a willing participant.
