Mark Berman reporting the last of the cuts:

FB  Jack Corcoran
WR Bobby Williams
WR Derrick Townsel
TE  Derek Fine
OL  Adam Stenavich
OL  Steve Maneri
OL  Cole Pemberton
C    Brett Helms
C    Chris White
DL  Malcolm Sheppard
DL  Mitch Unrein
DL  DelJuan Robinson
LB  Will Patterson
LB  Isaiah Greenhouse
DB Mark Parson
DB Torri Williams
DB Jacques Reeves
QB John David Booty
RBs Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson

As I'm not sure who's been IRed, I don't know for sure where the running tally stands.  However, if you add in Andre Davis to the IR and Kris Brown, this should be the 53 man roster.

To me, the biggest surprise is DelJuan, but I'm also somewhat surprised we're carrying only five CBs and McManis is one of them.  And Nicholas Polk?

I believe this is the Opening Day 53-man roster:
QB - Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky (2, 2)

RB - Arian Foster, Steve Slaton, the newly signed Derrick Ward (3, 5)

FB: Vonta Leach (1, 6)

WR: Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones, David Anderson, Dorin Dickerson (5, 11)

T: Duane Brown, Eric Winston, Rashad Butler (3, 14)

G/C: Mike Brisiel, Antoine Caldwell, Kasey Studdard, Shelley Smith, Wade Smith, Chris Myers (6, 20)

TE: Owen Daniels, Joel Dreessen, James Casey, Garrett Graham (4, 24)

DE: Connor Barwin, Tim Jamison, Jesse Nading, Antonio Smith, Mario Williams (5, 29)

DT: Shaun Cody, Earl Mitchell, Frank Okam, Amobi Okoye (4, 33)

LB: Kevin Bentley, Danny Clark, Brian Cushing*, Zac Diles, DeMeco Ryans, Darryl Sharpton, Xavier Adibi (6, 39)

S: Dominique Barber, Troy Nolan, Eugene Wilson, Bernard Pollard, Nicholas Polk (5, 44)

CB: Brice McCain, Sherrick McManis, Antwaun Molden, Glover Quin, Kareem Jackson (5, 49)

ST: Matt Turk, Neil Rackers, Jonathon Weeks (3, 52)

That's 52.  Anthony Hill is not listed on Injured Reserve at the team site, so he is, for now, #53.  That would also mean we have five TEs on the roster.  Ugh.

Update: Per DHC, Polk cut.  So are we at 52?  Or do I need remedial math?  Also, Hill is likely on the PUP, which I can't find.  That would mean 51.
