The Houston Texans have been forced to delay the start of their organised team activities due to severe flooding in the region.
The Houston area suffered over nine inches of rainfall over the space of Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday morning, which caused chaos around the region.

The Texans made the decision to delay the start of their OTAs because of the extreme weather, and now plan to begin their practice sessions on Wednesday.
A statement on their Twitter page said: "The #Texans have cancelled today's first organised team activity (OTA) session due to inclement weather conditions in the Houston area."
Houston narrowly missed out on the playoffs last season with a 9-7 record in the AFC South.
