HOUSTON - The Houston Texans on Friday confirmed that rookie tight end Anthony Hill has swine flu.

Hill spent the last two nights in the hospital.

The Texans say Hill was first diagnosed with pneumonia, but that diagnosis was later changed to swine flu.

The Texans learned about his illness Thursday night.

Gary Kubiak said Friday that Hill is doing better. It's unclear when he will be released from the hospital.

Houston Texans officials say that no other players have been affected.

The Texans' Tony Wylie said the team is taking the normal precautions to prevent the spread of swine flu and other illnesses.

Hill was a fourth-round draft pick out of North Carolina State.
