Houston Texans rookie tight end Anthony Hill was
hospitalized this week with swine flu in the first confirmed case
in an NFL player this season.
Texans vice president of communications Tony Wyllie says Hill is
the only player on the team believed to have swine flu and other
players are being monitored.
Hill, a fourth-round pick from North Carolina State, spent two
nights in the hospital. Coach Gary Kubiak told the Houston
Chronicle, which first reported the ailment, that Hill could be
released later Friday.
Houston (1-2) hosts Oakland (1-2) on Sunday.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
