Cowboys-Texans
Clarence Hill already reported that the Cowboys would play the Texans in the preseason as well as the regular season. It appears the Cowboys' fourth of five preseason games will be in Houston, when the Cowboys break camp in California.
The Texans will close the preseason against Tampa Bay.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said nothing has been finalized other than the Cowboys will start the preseason against the Bengals in the Hall of Fame Game. They will play one preseason game on the West Coast, while they are training in California. They will begin training camp in San Antonio.
The Cowboys and Texans did not play last season.
"I always want to play the Cowboys every year," Texans owner Bob McNair said Monday. "We did up until last year, and we hope to again, starting next preseason. I think we should play them every year."

Phillips high on Buehler
Rookie kicker David Buehler led the league in touchbacks last season, but he didn't attempt a field goal. The Cowboys struggled in that area, using two field-goal kickers last season and making only 20-of-31 attempts.
They have signed Connor Hughes, who kicked for the Philadelphia Soul of the AFL in 2008, but Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said he still has high hopes that Buehler can become a field-goal kicker.
"He has potential there, I think," Phillips said. "...He certainly has the leg to kick it far enough. In this case, it saves us a [roster] spot [if Buehler handled both jobs]. It's something worth trying to do obviously."
