Texans Allegedly Violate Minicamp Rules

Houston Texans players question injuries from rigorous minicamp workout - ESPN

This could end up being nothing major, or it could really cripple the Texans. They could lose multiple draft picks over this

I heard Mark Schlerth (sp?) talking about this and he said they did the same thing when he was with the Skins and the Broncos. They only used their hands so he didn't consider it a big deal. Of course the commish may consider it a big deal, especially since some guys are claiming injury.

I highly doubt guys were tearing up shoulders and triceps in what looked like a simple pass blocking drill. I know guys aren't suppose to hit or have contact but what I saw didn't look like hitting. It was just some pass blocking stuff. I remember a few years ago we lost some OTA days over stuff like this. I personally don't see the big deal but I'm not an NFL player either.

Great our third round pick now might move up one or two spots. The funny thing though would be if they took away the actual pick no matter who had it.

Any news on this? This sounds like a pretty flagrant violation of a pretty crystal clear rule.
