Texans' C.J. Fiedorowicz: Plans to report for offseason program

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Fiedorowicz (concussion) has made a decision on his future in football, but expects the tight end to report for the Texans' offseason program, which begins April 2, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Fiedorowicz said earlier this offseason that he was contemplating retirement as a result of the head injury he suffered Dec. 3, which marked his third concussion of the season. The 26-year-old may be using Organized Team Activities to gauge his interest in continuing his playing career, after which he could make his intentions known to the Texans one way or the other. Given Fiedorowicz's uncertain playing status for 2018, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if the Texans looked to the free-agent market or the draft to strengthen their tight-end corps.
