Andre Hal: Opts for retirement

The 26-year-old played in 69 games over his five years with the Texans and had 189 tackles (130 solo) with 12 interceptions, two forced fumbles and one touchdown.

Texans' Andre Hal: Listed as questionable
Hal (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Jets.
Hal appears to have picked up an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts, which ultimately kept him limited in practice this week. A potential absence for Hal on Saturday could result in additional snaps for A.J. Moore at strong safety behind starter Justin Reid.

Texans' Andre Hal: Clear of injury designation
Hal (shoulder) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Redskins.
Hal suffered the shoulder injury Week 7 against the Jaguars in his first game back after beating Hodgkin's Lymphona and is now poised for another return. The 26-year-old should serve a depth role in the Texans' secondary.

Texans' Andre Hal: Inactive for Sunday's contest
Hal (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Broncos.
Hal will miss his second straight game and his eighth of the year. He worked as a starter last year but the fifth-year pro won't get the same luxury when he returns since Tyrann Mathieu is in the fold.

Texans' Andre Hal: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Hal (shoulder) carries the questionable tag for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.
Hal has played in one game so far this season since beating Hodgkin's Lymphoma -- Week 7 against the Jaguars -- which is when he sustained the shoulder injury. The 26-year-old practiced in a limited capacity all three days this week. If Hal misses time on the field Sunday, Natrell Jamerson or Mike Tyson could fill in once again.

Texans' Andre Hal: Ruled out
Hal (shoulder) won't play against the Dolphins on Thursday.
After beating Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hal made his season debut last week against the Jaguars. He played 43 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but seemingly injured his shoulder during the contest, causing him to miss practice this week. Justin Reid will likely get extended time on the field in Hal's absence.

Texans' Andre Hal: Activated off NFI list
The Texans activated Hal (illness) off the Non-Football Illness list on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The safety will be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Hal missed the Texans' first six games while recovering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a condition he was diagnosed with in June. After a long recovery from the illness, Hal feels ready to play again, though the Texans could prefer to ease him into the mix. That said, there's a need for help at safety with the Texans set to move Kareem Jackson over to cornerback in Week 7 to compensate for the absences of Shareece Wright (shoulder) and Aaron Colvin (ankle).

Texans' Andre Hal: Removed from NFI list
Hal (illness) has been removed from the Non-Football Illness list and can now return to practice, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
After a battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma that lasted a few months, it appears Hal is on the cusp of making his return to the practice field for the Texans. He played 943 defensive snaps for the Texans last year, though it's unclear how his playing time will be impacted this season by the team's signing of Tyrann Mathieu once he's ready to return to game action.

Texans' Andre Hal: Lymphoma in remission
The Texans announced Wednesday that Hal's Hodgkin's Lymphoma is presently in remission.
This is great news for the safety, whose long-term health at one point seemed in serious jeopardy. Houston will continue to monitor Hal's recovery closely, but the progress he's made thus far gives him a shot at making an on-field impact in 2018. He'll be eligible to return to action as soon as Week 7 and could vie for snaps alongside Tyrann Mathieu with fellow safeties Kareem Jackson and Justin Reid having struggled early on.

Texans' Andre Hal: Hits NFI list to open camp
Hal (illness) was placed on the Texans' Non-Football Illness list Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
The designation comes as no surprise after Hal was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in June. The Texans will prioritize Hal's long-term health rather than rushing him back to the field, leaving his timetable for a return up in the air. Hal tallied 71 tackles and three interceptions in 16 games a season ago, but was likely to see his role decline during the upcoming campaign after the Texans brought in Tyrann Mathieu and shifted Kareem Jackson to safety.

Texans' Andre Hal: Diagnosed with cancer
Hal was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma on Friday.
What kind of timetable Hal is looking at is still unknown, as the defensive back is still undergoing tests and sifting through potential treatments. However, it's safe to say that Hal will be away from the team for the foreseeable future while he goes through the recovery process. Hal posted three interceptions and two forced fumbles last season while starting all 16 games in the Texans' secondary.

Texans' Andre Hal: Full participant in practice
Hal was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, the Texans' official site reports.
Hal was limited in Monday's practice due to a hip injury, but his full participation Tuesday bodes well for his status this Thursday in a Week 2 matchup with the Bengals. However, if he suffers a setback, expect Marcus Gilchrist to see extended reps on the field.

Texans' Andre Hal: Inks three-year extension
Hal signed a three-year, $15 million contract extension with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
A seventh-round draft pick in 2014, Hal is another example of a late-round success story. He appeared in 15 games (11 starts) for the Texans last season, supplying 48 tackles, one sack and two interceptions in his third professional campaign. The 25-year-old's new deal will keep him in Houston through at least 2020, locking him in as the team's starting free safety.
