The Facts:
The Texans' franchise leading rusher, who spent this season on the injured reserve with a knee problem, has legally changed his last name from Davis to Williams. He's also dumping the No. 37 jersey he's worn since arriving in Houston in 2003 to wear No. 31. "So I'm coming back as a new person altogether," he said, sporting a short shaven haircut, after wearing braids for much of the last year.

Williams said he is feeling great and he can't wait to get back on the field. "I wouldn't say I'm 100 percent, but it's close," he said. ... "A new name, a new haircut, new clothes -- let's hope he has a new knee," Texans cornerback Dunta Robinson joked upon hearing the news. While Robinson's comments were in jest, the health of Williams is a big question mark for the Texans as they prepare for next season and his return isn't certain. We'll be following his progress closely -- keep watching.
