The Texans have 17 players practicing on a tryout basis at their rookie mini-camp from May 10-12.
Among them is Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, a Heisman Trophy finalist who was widely reported to be among the Texans' undrafted rookie signings. Klein instead is one of 11 rookies the Texans have on campus to try out during five practices over the next three days.
The Texans also are trying out six veterans, including running back Deji Karim, who previously played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts. The others are center Tyler Horn, tackle Jon Opperud, safety Royo Lewis, defensive tackle Robert Rose and cornerback Terrence Wheatley.
