This Tuesday edition of Daily Brew is scalding hot, much like the triple-digit temperatures in and around the country. I've got my top takeaways from the Texans home game theme announcement, plus Bachelor talk (don't roll your eyes) but training camp is top of mind these days, so let's start there.
Can you believe camp is starting around the country? The defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs, who host Detroit in the annual primetime kickoff game on September 7, are one of nine teams with rookies reporting today, along with Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, the Los Angeles Chargers, Miami, New Orleans, the New York Giants and San Francisco.
The New York Jets, with rookies and veterans reporting on July 19, and Cleveland Browns, with rookies reporting on July 19 and veterans reporting on July 21, will be the first two clubs with their entire teams on-site. The two teams are scheduled to meet in the NFL/Hall of Fame Game on August 3. And Hard Knocks will be along for the ride.
The Texans, like most of the rest of the clubs, will have veterans report on Tuesday, July 25. The first practice takes place Wednesday, July 26 with the first practice open to fans on Friday.
Second-year offensive lineman Kenyon Green is excited for the 2023 season after working to get stronger physically and improve the mental aspect of his game.
The Texans announced their home game themes on Monday. Big takeaways:
1. The team will wear their Battle Red helmet three times (the max number allowed by the league) during the season. The official Battle Red Day game is Sunday, Nov. 26 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
2. The Texans annual Legends Homecoming game is set for the same game (Oct. 1 vs. Pittsburgh) as the J.J. Watt Ring of Honor ceremony. Seeing all the former Texans in attendance for Watt's name being placed in the rafters will be a fun memory this season.
3. The Texans will close out the season at home with a new theme, Reppin' H-Town on Sunday, Dec. 31 in celebration of H-Town culture.

Remember when The Bachelor filmed an episode at NRG Stadium with TORO, Jonathan Greenard and Kamu Grugier-Hill?
The new season of 'The Bachelor' released an episode with TORO and Houston Texans players Kamu Grugier-Hill and Jonathan Greenard.
THE BACHELOR - "2604" - Shrimp-gate boils over into another week! Clayton takes it upon himself to pull Shanae and Elizabeth aside in an attempt to settle their dispute, but when the two become heated, frustration mounts and he cancels the cocktail party. Will the two bitter rivals survive the rose ceremony, or will both be sent packing? Then, for the first time in two years, "The Bachelor" jet sets around the globe on the journey to find love! At their first destination - Houston, Texas, Clayton gets a surprise visit from his best friend before his one-on-one date, where it's time for a downhome Texas-style family barbecue followed by a surprise musical performance from country band Restless Road. Later, one woman overhears the others plotting to get her sent home, so stakes are especially high when the ladies are split into two teams for the Bachelor Bowl football classic on their group date. Special guests Jonathan Greenard and Kamu Grugier-Hill of the NFL's Houston Texans coach the ladies, while legendary sports anchor Hannah Storm joins Jesse Palmer in the broadcast booth to provide some sidesplitting commentary. The intensity on the field is no joke as the winners will go to the after-party with Clayton while the losers go home. Nobody is laughing when a controversial woman on the losing team does some party crashing, leading to the most explosive confrontation of the season! "The Bachelor" airs MONDAY, JAN. 31 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC. (ABC/Felicia Graham) THE BACHELOR
