Texans considering Packers’ McKenzie for GM

Reggie McKenzie, the director of pro personnel for the Green Bay Packers, has emerged as a candidate to head up the Houston Texans football operations, according to the Houston Chronicle.

The Texans are seeking a replacement for general manager Charley Casserly, who stepped down on Wednesday. Indications are that McKenzie is a serious candidate, but Packers general manager Ted Thompson said on Thursday the Texans have not called to ask permission to interview McKenzie, who is under contract with the Packers through the end of this month.

McKenzie, 43, joined the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 1994 and was promoted to his current position in 1997.
