Texans release S Terrence Brooks

The Houston Texans have released safety Terrence Brooks as part of their moves to finalized a 53-man roster.

Not all former New England Patriots players have a spot on the Houston Texans’ roster in the Nick Caserio era.

According to Adam Schefter from ESPN, the Texans cut safety Terrence Brooks on Tuesday in their scramble to finalize their 53-man roster by 3:00 p.m. Central Time.

Brooks was with the Texans in 2021 and played 11 games for Houston, starting in three of them. The former Baltimore Ravens 2014 third-round pick knocked away a pass and tallied 21 combined tackles.

On Aug. 15, coach Lovie Smith told reporters that Brooks “stood out” during training camp when talking about the depth of the position. However, relative to the 53-man roster on Aug. 30, Brooks has been left out.
