Texans sign Morency, Mathis, close on Johnson

According to Houston Pro Football.com, the Texans signed 2005 draft picks Vernand Morency and Jerome Mathis late Thursday night, just in time for training camp to begin. The same article claims that KRIV-TV reported Thursday night that 1st round pick Travis Johnson could have a deal in place by the time practice starts on Saturday. That's certainly good news for the Texans.
