The NFL said it canceled Thursday night’s preseason game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans near Dallas because the Texans will be able to return to their families sooner, ESPN reported on Wednesday, Aug. 30.
Houston and other parts of southern Texas were slammed by Hurricane Harvey, which is now a tropical storm, leaving deadly floods in its wake.
