The Houston Texans and cornerback Steven Nelson have had a tense offseason.
The 30-year-old is in the final year of a two-year contract with the Texans, and hasn’t exactly kept his disdain for management well hidden. Social media posts from Nelson’s accounts suggest a variety of interpretations regarding his views on general manager Nick Caserio and the state of his contract.
Houston has similarly positioned the team to absorb any issues with Nelson by signing former Pro Bowl cornerback Shaquill Griffin and also working out former Denver Broncos cornerback Ronald Darby ahead of camp.
Nelson was available for camp Wednesday morning and took part in practice at Houston Methodist Training Center. According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans and Nelson have had “dialogue” regarding his contract.
