HOUSTON (AP) – Houston Texans owner Bob McNair ordered a sweep of the locker room to make sure none of his players are using banned substances.
USA Today first reported the Texans had staff members remove any products from lockers that are not approved by the NFL. Two of Houston’s players – left tackle Duane Brown and linebacker Brian Cushing – served four-game suspensions for different violations of the league’s policy on banned substances.
McNair says Friday he wanted to take a step to provide a “deterrent” for future violations. He says the Texans have the right to control players while they’re in the team’s facilities.
Brown will return from his suspension when the Texans (4-2) play at Indianapolis (4-2) on Monday night. Cushing sat out Houston’s first four games.
