HOUSTON (AP) -- Running back James Allen, expected to battle for a spot on the Houston Texans this season, instead decided to retire on Sunday.
``I believe that all things must come to an end. But at every ending there is a new beginning. I feel like it is time for me to move on to pursue other passions,'' Allen, an aspiring rap artist, said in a statement released by his spokeswoman.
Allen missed training camp drills late last week and sat out Saturday night's 20-12 preseason loss to Denver because of personal issues, the Texans said.
