Texans head coach Bill O’Brien oversaw the first practice of training camp on Thursday and the session unfolded without Jadeveon Clowney on the field.Clowney didn’t sign a long-term deal with the club this offseason and has not signed his franchise tag Jonah Williams Jersey , so the expectation is that he won’t be reporting to camp anytime soon. O’Brien said on Thursday that he hopes that expectation does not turn out to be reality.“I can tell you unequivocally that we want Jadeveon Clowney here,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said, via Aaron Wilson of the . “He’s part of this team. We want him here. There’s always a difference when we talk about money and relative to and wanting him on the team. That’s something that the agent and our team are working on. Relative to the player and the history that him and I have together, we would love to have him here. He’s a really talented football player that has made a lot of good plays for us in the past. The sooner the better. We would love to have him.”Clowney’s agent and the team can’t work out a multi-year deal after the July 15 deadine to get one done http://www.bengalscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-drew-sample-jersey , but they could work out a one-year deal that pays him more than the value of the tag. There’s a dispute about the value of that tag right now and the lack of a General Manager in Houston could be an impediment to any such talks.O’Brien downplayed that on Thursday by saying they have a “really strong structure in place” to handle what had been on Brian Gaine’s plate before his firing, but none of that may be enough for them to get Clowney back in the locker room this summer. The Texas Rangers sent rookie left-hander Yohander Mendez back to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday for violating team rules.

Mendez was supposed to start Wednesday’s series finale against Kansas City. But right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx will get the ball instead.

”It’s not criminal, nothing involving MLB or the police,” general manager Jon Daniels said. ”There will be a program that we’ll work with Yohander on.”

Daniels said at least one other player was involved Germaine Pratt Jersey , but his discipline will be handled in-house.

Second baseman Rougned Odor was scratched from Texas’ lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Royals, but manager Jeff Banister refused to comment on if the benching was related to the incident with Mendez, which took place after Monday night’s 6-3 victory at Kansas City and away from Kauffman Stadium.

Banister said Mendez will have to merit a return to the majors.

”Part of the development of where we are as a club is upholding a certain level of standards for veterans and young players alike,” Daniels said. ”Part of the development process of young players is on the maturity side as well. I’d say that’s kind of where this one falls.”

The 23-year-old Mendez is 0-1 with a 14.73 ERA in two games with the Rangers this season. He made his first major league start Friday against Colorado and was tagged for six runs and seven hits over three innings in a 9-5 loss.

The Valencia http://www.bengalscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ryan-finley-jersey , Venezuela native broke into the majors in 2016. He is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in 11 career outings.

Bibens-Dirkx was recalled from Round Rock to replace Mendez. He made two starts for Texas earlier this season, going 0-1 with a 6.55 ERA.

”The rest of it I don’t have any comment,” Banister said. ”My messaging to the team is what I say to them as a group. I don’t always need my messaging to come out in print. We are a team. There are things that happened inside the team concept. We’ll continue to put the team first in these types of situations. There are standards we want to live by every day and we want to make sure those standards are held in high regard.”
