The Houston Texans must get their roster at 53 men by 3:00 p.m. Central Time Aug. 29.
In that process comes easy cuts and also some difficult decisions.
“I appreciate guys just their work ethic and how much work those guys put in for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Monday. “I don’t take that lightly. Our guys have done a great job of doing what we’ve asked them to do. We’ve asked them to work hard each and every day — our guys did that. They didn’t complain, they just worked. So, it’s a hard day. Over the next couple of days — it’ll be a hard few days having to let guys go because I know the work that these men have put in.”
Below are the moves the Texans have made as they build their first regular season roster under Ryans.
