Sources: Texans set to star on HBO's 'Hard Knocks'

HOUSTON -- The Texans will be the next subject of HBO's documentary series "Hard Knocks," according to multiple sources.

The team is expected to make an announcement soon. This marks the first time the Texans are the subject of the show, which dates back to 2001.

Houston and its star J.J. Watt made a cameo on the show last season when the Atlanta Falcons were the headliners. The Texans hosted the Falcons for joint practices during training camp.

The show has featured the Ravens, Chiefs, Jets, Dolphins and Falcons one time each. The Cowboys and the Bengals have each been featured twice.

Teams have the right to refuse the show if they have a new head coach, have been to the playoffs in the past two seasons or if they have been the subject of the show in the past 10 years. The Texans fit none of those criteria.
