Did you miss all of this morning's training camp action and have no desire to wade through Twitter yourself to get all caught up? Not to worry, we did the work for you. Here is a chronological account of everything that happened (or in some cases, didn't happen) at day one of Texans training camp.

Jaelen Strong looks nothing like he did during OTAs/Mini-Camps. Considerable difference in appearance. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Surprise! Watt got the loudest ovation when players entered practice field. Stands are packed. Hard Knocks crews working hard.

Wow Jaelen Strong looks skinny. Those 20 pounds he lost are evident. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 1, 2015
OBrien gets in the middle of drills and watches every position.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 1, 2015
Like n offseason program Clowney watching and talking to teammates during practice. I expect him to come off PUP n a couple of weeks.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 1, 2015
Hard Knocks crews are right in the middle shooting among the players. First show Aug. 11.

Bouye and Shorts a good matchup. Bouye with the pass break up. #Texans

Jaelen Strong teasing today. Showing some positives today catching the football. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Hoyer hits Hopkins to open up the team session across the middle. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Everybody here and working, except the guys on PUP/NFI. Appears to be a very healthy team to start camp. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 1, 2015
Savage holding the ball too long during team. Whistle blows the play dead. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Offensive lineman learning early Wilfork is not easy to move. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
7 on 7 starting. Hoyer starting strong. Him and Washington look in sync. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015

— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Couple nice touchdown throws by Brian Hoyer, then throws a pick to Stevie Brown. #Texans

Kevin Johnson active today. Back to back good coverage. Last play broke up the pass. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Both quarterbacks having decent days. Hoyer looking better but could be due to the personnel he is working with. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Keith Mumphery runs by Bouye to catch a deep ball from Savage. #Texans

Former @AggieFootball WR EZ Nwachukwu has made several acrobatic catches on deep balls this am at #TexansCamp.
— Drew Dougherty (@DoughertyDrew) August 1, 2015
Hoyer accurate with the intermediate throws and has a quicker release than Mallett. Making a difference early one day one. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Mallett struggling. A pass to no one then a throw into double coverage broken up in red zone work. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
First rep of team. J.J. Watt would have had the sack. Play blown dead. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
Offense is a small disaster. Another false stater the entire offense taking a jog to the other goal post for the bust. #Texans
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015

Bill O'Brien: 97% of this team came back in great shape. #TexansCamp pic.twitter.com/vbTe5eOMgI
— Deepi Sidhu (@DeepSlant) August 1, 2015
O'Brien says no traditional 1st, 2nd, 3rd teams. Wants to mix and match players to get most reps. #TexansCamp
— Deepi Sidhu (@DeepSlant) August 1, 2015
"It's not a distraction at all. We are used to the cameras. You certainly get used to it after a while." --O'Brien on #HardKnocks
— #TexansCamp (@HoustonTexans) August 1, 2015
O'Brien & #HardKnocks Director Matt Dissinger meet 2x day to go over schedule. Says crew very accommodating, easy to work with. #TexansCamp
— Deepi Sidhu (@DeepSlant) August 1, 2015
"Teach him what? What am I gonna teach JJ?" Wilfork says. Says what he'll take from JJ is how he works. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 1, 2015
JJ Watt signs autographs for screaming fans bordering on the hysterical. pic.twitter.com/IlTYKv4AQa
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 1, 2015
Brian Hoyer: We're going against one of best defenses in the league everyday. Pushes us to get better. #TexansCamp pic.twitter.com/t0VYEEdNSE

QB Ryan Mallett worked in late June, July at @ArkRazorbacks & w/his HS coaches who are now in Carthage, TX. pic.twitter.com/nFnL267o7V

The new and improved Jaelen Strong. #Texans pic.twitter.com/pRY9cR1QHP
— PDS (@PatDStat) August 1, 2015
A reporter asked Mallett if it's good to hear he can still win this thing. "Are you counting me out?" #texans

This Texans quarterback competition might be over sooner than you think. #HoyerWins
— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) August 1, 2015
This is easily the deepest and most competitive Texans secondary I've seen since the teams inception #TexansCamp
— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) August 1, 2015
Vince Wilfork told me #Texans LB coach @CoachVrabel50 was the best all around teammate he ever had on and off the field.
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 1, 2015
Wouldn't count out @ajbouye21 for that third corner job. It was his last year and he's fighting for it. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 1, 2015
Mallett's always had a boulder on his shoulder and it's served him well. Remains there as training camp begins for #Texans.
— Brian T. Smith (@ChronBrianSmith) August 1, 2015
O'Brien open to hiring a female coach but won't this year because staff is set. #Texans
— Brian T. Smith (@ChronBrianSmith) August 1, 2015
O'Brien will handle QB reps differently than he did during OTAs. Doesn't plan to rotate Hoyer, Mallett with first team daily. More of a mix.
— Brian T. Smith (@ChronBrianSmith) August 1, 2015
Mallett had three consecutive incompletions during goalline drills. Hoyer's been on and off. #Texans
— Brian T. Smith (@ChronBrianSmith) August 1, 2015
ILB Brian Cushing said he's more comfortable and confident than last year. He wasn't able to practice n 2014 camp until 3rd preseason game.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 1, 2015
CB Johnathan Joseph said he's been impressed with the program of CB Kevin Johnson, the No. 1 pick. He said Johnson is a fast learner.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 1, 2015
CJ Fiedorowicz was another guy who stood out for the Texans today. Night & day from last year. Looks so comfortable, effortless now
— Jayson Braddock (@JaysonBraddock) August 1, 2015
KJ on J-Joe/Kareem: "That's 15 years of experience. I'm just soaking up everything they do, from out here to meeting rooms to everything."
— Jayson Braddock (@JaysonBraddock) August 1, 2015
Someone asked about Watt's elbow brace. Haven't asked in a bit, but he's said he hates it and wouldn't wear it if he didn't have to. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 1, 2015
#Texans attendance today was 4,681 for the first practice of training camp.
