2014 Houston Texans 53-Man Roster Set; Roster Cut From 75 To 53

If my math is right, it looks like our roster cut tracker for your Houston Texans is down to 53 players on the team. Now that the team has reduced the roster from 75 to 53, here's what the current 53-man roster looks like:

As we've discussed on numerous occasions, it's virtually guaranteed that there will be additional cuts made as the Texans take advantage of their priority position amongst NFL teams on the waiver wire. Nevertheless, congratulations to all who made the team today.

The 22 players who were cut to trim the roster down are as follows:

OFFENSE

WR:  Travis Labhart, Lacoltan Bester, Uzoma Nwachukwu

TE: Anthony Denham, Zach Potter

FB: Toben Opurum

C: James Ferentz

RG: Alex Kupper, Bronson Irwin

RT: Matt Feiler, Mike Farrell

DEFENSE

NT: Ricardo Mathews

LDE: Keith Browner, Julius Warmsley

SLB: Chris McAllister

ILB: Max Bullough, Chris Young

JLB: Quentin Groves

LCB: Marcus Williams

RCB: Brandon Harris

FS: Jawanza Starling

SPECIAL TEAMS

PK: Chris Boswell

If they don't catch on with other teams, Travis Labhart, Uzoma Nwachukwu, Anthony Denham, James Ferentz, Max Bullough, and Marcus Wiliams would seem to have a good chance to stay in Houston on the Texans' practice squad.  Teams can start signing players to their practice squads at 11 a.m. CDT.
