NFL roundup: Texans sign LB Mays

The Houston Texans signed linebacker Joe Mays to a one-year deal, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Mays is now teammates with quarterback Matt Schaub, whom he injured last season while playing for the Denver Broncos.

Mays' hit on Schaub caused the quarterback to lose a small chunk of one of his ears. Mays was suspended one game and fined $50,000 for the blindside helmet-to-helmet hit.

He later apologized to Schaub and said it was not intentional.

"We're way past that," Schaub said Monday.

Mays, 28, played six games for the Broncos last year before breaking his left leg in October. The team released him last week.

-- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert was carted off the field during training camp practice because of a sprained right ankle.

The team said Gabbert will be evaluated over the next two days.

He said after practice that he will be fine.

Gabbert, entering his third year, is competing for the starting spot with Chad Henne.

--Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jason Phillips suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during practice and had to be carted off the field.

Cornerback Brandon Hughes also left practice with a hamstring injury.

Phillips spent the past two seasons with the Carolina Panthers and was expected to be a significant contributor on special teams.
