The Texans officially have launched training camp with a pair of key starters (J.J. Watt, DeAndre Hopkins) absent. They now may be without another starter.

Via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, right tackle Derek Newton has been carted off.

McClain said that Newton didn’t seem to be in any pain. Still, Newton was carted off.

He has started every game during each of the last three seasons, signing a $26.5 million contract in 2015.
