Houston Texans: Players who have been cut this preseason (updated)

The Houston Texans are building their 53-man roster and who are the players that have been cut?

This preseason has been very interesting, where some decisions have been made by the front office of the Houston Texans, including releasing players and making trades that have sent players on the roster away to different destinations.

On Sunday it was reported the Texans traded defensive end Shaq Lawson to the New York Jets for a sixth-round pick. Maybe the biggest move of all will involve a trade of Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, but patience will be a big factor if a trade like that ever occurs.

More roster moves will come for the Houston Texans and keep posted at the Toro Times for more of those upcoming roster moves and decisions made by the Texans before the start of the ’21 regular season.

Which players do you think will stay on the roster of the 2021 Houston Texans, and which players do you think will be cut by the franchise?
