"Watching practice sucks. I hate it. I want to be out there with my teammates, my brothers. We’re going to treat this to the full extent. Obviously, it’s the preseason, so I’d much rather have it happen now than in the season. I’m just going to make sure I’m 100 percent by the time I get back."

"I wasn't real excited to leave the Texans," Rackers said. "That's a decision they made not us.

"We've had promises for awhile now on a long-term deal and they came to us with a minimum offer. So we just felt like the opportunity for advancement was not in Houston.
