EDEN PRAIRIE -- The Minnesota Vikings finished their practice week yesterday and will host the Houston Texans tomorrow in the final preseason game of the season for both teams.
Most of the starters for both teams will not play tomorrow, although a small few could get a few snaps. Linebacker Chad Greenway will probably not play, but he says the team's defense is starting to take on the look of a good defense. He says when he watches film of the team's training camp workouts he is seeing improvement every day. Minnesota opens the regular season at San Diego on September 11th.

The Texans also signed tackle Andrew Gardner, and placed four players on the reserve/injured list: receivers Devard Darling and Lestar Jean, and guards Shelley Smith and Kasey Studdard. The Texans play in Minneapolis against the Vikings tomorrow night.
