League required separate piece of fallen metal on catwalk to be addressed before Texans-Cowboys could proceed

Steel structure above field remains an issue

The NFL requested a dangling piece of metal on a catwalk high above the field at NRG Stadium to be removed before the Texans-Cowboys game could proceed Sunday night, according to a source.

The issue was discovered during pregame warmups, and the league wanted to make sure the metal was removed before allowing the game to begin. The metal was eventually removed, and the game was able to start on time.

NFL emphasizes safety first

The NFL has a strict policy regarding safety at its stadiums, and the league is always looking for ways to improve safety for players, fans, and staff. The league's decision to delay the start of the Texans-Cowboys game until the metal was removed was a clear indication of the league's commitment to safety.

The metal was located on a catwalk that is used by stadium workers to access the roof of the stadium. The catwalk is located high above the field, and it is possible that the metal could have fallen onto the field and injured someone if it had not been removed.

The NFL's decision to delay the start of the game was the right one. The league is committed to safety, and it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the safety of players, fans, and staff.
