Texans-Cowboys moved to Arlington
Published 5:41 pm Monday, August 28, 2017
The Houston Texans’ Thursday preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys has been moved to Arlington, the NFL announced.
The change was made as a result of safety concerns related to storm Harvey. Kickoff is still scheduled for 7 p.m., with live coverage to air on KBTV, Fox 4.
Earlier Monday, the league announced its NFL Foundation will match the Texans’ $1 million donation to the United Way Relief Fund to address needs of those impacted by Harvey.
“The total $2 million contribution will support first response efforts by the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and the United Way of Greater Houston,” the NFL said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with the Houston community during this difficult time and we encourage fans to text HARVEY to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross Hurricane Harvey relief.”
