The Facts: The Texans have high hopes for Warring, and now they finally get to see their rookie TE on the field. According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans have activated Warring from the non-football injury list.

Diehards Line: He’s going to practice for the first time today, after missing the first five sessions with a muscle pull. The third-round pick from San Diego State has a chance at significant playing time early, after they released Ryan Griffin. Even if Jordan Thomas starts, the Texans like what they’ve seen from Warring so far.
