HOUSTON (AP) -Five years ago, Eric Winston snubbed Texas A&M in favor of signing with Miami. While he enjoyed his time in Florida, the offensive tackle is ecstatic about returning to his home state to play for the Houston Texans. Winston, who grew up in Midland, caused a rift in his family when he rescinded an oral commitment to A&M to play for the Hurricanes. He upset his mother and Texas A&M alum stepfather with the decision, but still has no regrets about his choice. ``I loved College St |

HOUSTON (AP) -The Houston Texans signed former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Dexter McCleon on Sunday, adding depth to a secondary depleted by an injury a day earlier to Demarcus Faggins. McCleon was cut by the Chiefs in March along with teammate Eric Warfield when it appeared that the team would be several million dollars over the salary cap.

The ailment that led to surgery wasn't as much about how he felt while he was pla |
