Texans' Reshard Cliett: Kept out of practice

Cliett was held out of practice on Thursday due to hamstring tightness, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Cliett was held out of practice for precautionary reasons, and his tightness was likely just cramps due to the heat. His first chance to return to practice will be on Friday. Cliett appears to be near the back of the Texans' linebacker corps and could just be playing for a backup and special teams role.
