What happened: The NFL released formal remarks addressing the death of Janice S. McNair, who passed away Tuesday at age 89. Alongside her late husband Bob McNair, she spent $700 million in 1998 to purchase the league's 32nd franchise.

Why it matters: The McNair family restored professional football to Houston after the city was left without a team by a prior owner's departure. She later guided the organization from 2018 to 2024 as principal owner before transitioning into her role as senior chair.

What to watch: The Texans organization will honor McNair's legacy throughout training camp as the team prepares for the 2026 preseason.
