Lots of news and interesting bits came out of OTAs today... at least more so than the usual premature speculation over player performances without pads.
#Texans players ready to begin Week 3 of #OTAs. Time to get after it! https://t.co/p7hw6VAOXx

Quessenberry says it will be "a special day" when (he specifies over "if") he returns in pads. #Texans

Quessenberry weighed 306-307 pounds before cancer diagnosis. Got down to 280s during chemo. #Texans

Miscellaneous player news
Chris Polk says LeSean McCoy and Arian Foster are similar guys. He said they're helpful. And he said they're clowns. #Texans

Big theme in #Texans OTAs is more knowledge of offense yr 1 to 2. Oft described as complex. May help with fewer mistakes, ability to do more

Accuracy has been Mallett's biggest issue in NFL and is one of his main hurdles in becoming #Texans' starter. He's been off and on in OTAs.

Limited at what you can see at OTAs but #Texans fans should be encouraged at how well Cushing is moving. Moving well is A Good Thing.

Keith Mumphery continues to impress. He is able to compete against the veterans and have success. Route running is a plus for him. #Texans

"John Simon really defines in many ways the type of player that we're looking for," O'Brien says of the OLB. #Texans

That's about all I could find for now. OTAs continue tomorrow and pick up again on June 11th and 12th. Afterwards mandatory minicamp commences on June 16 through the 18th.
