There could still be additional transactions ahead, depending on whether the Texans sign or claim a player that was cut by another team. The Texans have until 12 p.m. tomorrow to add players from the waiver wire. Additionally, there's still the matter of putting together a practice squad; we'll monitor that situation as it develops, though that shouldn’t affect who suits up for Week One, barring injury.
