Houston Texans defensive tackle Cedric Killings surprised his teammates by walking into practice yesterday, just five days after fracturing a vertebra in his neck.
Killings wore a neck brace and had a black eye from the headfirst collision with Indianapolis receiver Roy Hall on Sunday, but couldn't keep a huge smile off his face.
As he walked in, players began clapping and screaming.
