2016 Houston Texans Roster Cut Tracker: Who Didn't Make The 53-Man Roster?

Every NFL team has to have its roster down to 53 players by tomorrow at 3 p.m. CDT. For your Houston Texans, that means 22 players currently on the team will be thanked for their efforts in securing an undefeated preseason campaign and told their services are no longer needed.

In years past, news about the first few cuts has started to trickle out of NRG Park on the day before the deadline, so we're getting the tracker up this morning. We'll update this post as we learn which players have been cut (like we did for the first round of cuts), and then we'll have a separate entry summarizing all the moves when the deadline passes (again, like we did earlier in the week).

Cuts:

LB Eric Lee
WR Wendall Williams
WR Quenton Bundrage
OT Jeff Adams
OT Andrew McDonald
C   Dalton Freeman
CB Robert Nelson
OL Karim Barton
LB Tony Washington Jr.
TE Anthony Denham
DE Ufomba Kamalu
OL Chad Slade
TE Eric Tomlinson
RB Kenny Hilliard
CB Terrance Mitchell

DL Dan Pettinato
FS Antonio Allen
