"I've talked to him the other day and had a great visit with him. I think it's just the matter of what Aaron wants to do."

According to Andy Simms, free agent DE Raheem Brock is visiting the Texans tomorrow. Leverage move for Aaron Schobel or genuine interest by the Texans? h/t EveryHoustonTeamRox! UPDATE: In other free agency news, National Football Post is reporting that the Texans (along with the Chiefs and Saints) are interested in DT Kendrick Clancy. UPDATE #2: According to Nick Scurfield's blog, the Texans worked out Brock, Dewayne White, and a third DE (some Tweets suggest it was James Wyche). Before anyone goes into Chicken Little mode, this was not done with any regards to Mario Williams and his hip issue as he upped his practice participation this morning. Scurfield says that Tim Bulman has a shoulder injury and won't be back any time soon.
Studdard is starting. Let the weeping begin.
The Texans have announced that the Monday morning session of training camp is now open to the public. As always, free tickets are available online. h/t EveryHoustonTeamRox! for catching this earlier.
If we're talking Michael Jackson jams, give me "Dirty Diana."
Corcoran got a good bit of UDFA love around these parts. Long shot to make the team, but this could be worth keeping an eye on.
Following up on an earlier story, Adam Schefter is reporting that Aaron Schobel will in fact be released after Buffalo Bills GM Buddy Nix stated that he wouldn't simply be let go on Monday. It will be interesting to see what happens with Schobel next, although no matter where he ends up he may not sign right away in an attempt to miss some training camp time.
