After two trackers (here and here) and an update, we can now unveil the first Houston Texans' 53-man roster of the 2016 NFL season.

According to the team's official site, here's who was waived:

Jeff Adams
Karim Barton
Quenton Bundrage
Reshard Cliett

I believe that leaves this as the Texans' initial roster for the upcoming season:

Running Back: Lamar Miller, Tyler Ervin, Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes

Fullback: Jay Prosch

Wide Receiver: DeAndre Hopkins, Jaelen Strong, Will Fuller, Braxton Miller, Keith Mumphery

There could still conceivably be some additional transactions ahead, depending on whether the Texans sign or claim a player that was cut by another team. Additionally, there's still the matter of putting together a practice squad, which should happen no later than tomorrow; we'll monitor that situation as it develops.

Until then, what's your reaction to the Texans' maiden 53-man roster with the Bears on deck?
