New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and Texans coach Bill O'Brien have a good relationship, a rapport that's led to them collaborating on joint practice sessions.

The Texans will travel to Louisiana to hold joint practices with the Saints prior to their third preseason game Aug. 26 in New Orleans. The Texans hosted the Saints last year in Houston prior to a preseason game.

"The Texans will be here for a couple days before we play them," Payton told New Orleans reporters. "We've had over the years a number of joint practices with them."

The Texans are also holding joint practices with the New England Patriots during their training camp at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.

The Saints previously held their training camp at The Greenbrier and Payton recommended the venue to the Texans.
