Houston Texans Roster Cuts: Final Moves Made, Texans' 53-Man Roster Set

Houstonians know that when it comes to breaking sports stories in our fair city, Mark Berman has very few, if any, peers. Berman enlightened us last night with the identities of many of the Texans' final cuts. As you'd expect, he finished what he started, breaking the news about the final seven roster moves the team made to get down to 53 players by 5 p.m. CDT today.

Texans release CB Elbert Mack, RB Deji Karim, CB Roc Carmichael. Placed WR Alan Bonner, OT Brennan Williams & OLB Trevardo Williams on IR.
