Every move the Texans made during preseason roster cuts

The Texans’ debut 53-player roster is out now, and while that means we are one step closer to Houston kicking off its 2024 season. It also means the journey in H-Town has reached its final point for several players, including a handful who were expected to make the roster.

Houston can sign 16 players to its practice squad starting Wednesday afternoon — or 17 if it opts to keep International Pathway Player, Kilian Zierer, who is expected back for the 2024 campaign.

For now, 34 players who weren’t kept on the active roster or designated to a reserve list will hit the open market. It’ll be up to the Texans to decide who returns after clearing the waiver wire in the coming days.
