The Houston Texans used their opener Sunday against Indianapolis to honor and remember the victims of the Uvalde Elementary school shooting.
The team joined with grocery store chain H-E-B to pay for the team to travel the 280 miles from Uvalde and watch the game from a suite. It’s part of the team’s continuing support for the community after donating $400,000 to the Robb Elementary School memorial fund soon after the shooting.
Uvalde coach Wade Miller said they want to do whatever they can to continue to honor those who lost their lives in the shooting. A contingent from the Texans including linebackers Christian Kirksey and Kamu Grugier-Hill visited Uvalde earlier this month and surprised the team with new uniforms provided by Nike during a team dinner.“Whenever those kind of things happen, news comes in, people come in and they’re with them for a little bit," Grugier-Hill said. “But at the end of the day, the reality is the people leave and they’ve got to still deal with the reality of what happened.
Rendon was asked if he was a Texans fan before the game. He paused and looked sheepish before answering.
