Report: Texans' Brown willing to continue holdout until at least Week 7

Houston Texans left tackle Duane Brown is prepared to hold out for at least another month, and won't report to the team until after its Week 7 bye at the earliest, sources told CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora.

Brown stayed away for the entire offseason and has missed Houston's first two games, with the offensive line struggling mightily in his absence.

The 32-year-old has two years left on his current contract - $9.4 million this season and $9.75 million in 2018 - and the Texans haven't shown much willingness to rework the deal.

However, if Houston's pass-protection issues continue, it will be harder to justify not paying its best offensive lineman.
