Houston Texans 53-man roster prediction

We're approaching another season of Houston Texans football, but before that comes training camp and preseason. The Texans are into their second week of training camp and are inching closer to their preseason opener against the Chicago Bears this week. Everywhere you look, people have said this is the deepest roster the Texans have ever had. That comes with big-time battles, but especially on offense. 

However the Texans roster shapes out week 1, and their practice squad will be deep and loaded with talent. Some players you may have penciled in to make the roster this spring may now be looking to just make the practice squad. Let’s take a look at the potential Texans 53-man roster.
