Texans Announce Final Roster Moves To Get To 53

August 26th, 2025 at 11:06pm CST by Ely Allen

The Texans cut some big names on their way down to an initial 53-man roster. Here’s a look at all the moves they made:

Released:

The Texans took some flyers on some discarded veterans this offseason and, ultimately, decided to throw a lot of them right back in the pond. We’ve already gone into detail on Brown, Maulet, and Niemann, but it’s a bit shocking to the trade return for John Metchie get released after a little over a week. Houston even attached a fifth-round pick to Metchie to make the deal happen and received Bryant and a sixth-rounder in exchange. Now, all they have from that deal is a sixth-round pick.

Mills, like Brown, saw his 2024 season ruined by injuries, something not uncommon in Mills’ career. The Texans took a good look at him this offseason, but even with Ward’s ongoing issues, Mills will not debut for his fourth NFL team. Meanwhile, Cephus and Arnette continue to struggle on their way back to playing in an NFL game, while on the injury front, Smith joins fellow tight end Brevin Jordan on season-ending injured reserve.

Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 identifies both the rookie tight end Lachey (seventh round) and the undrafted rookie linebacker Ossai as players that the team will make a priority to bring back on the practice squad.

Minor NFL Transactions: 1/8/25

January 8th, 2025 at 10:04pm CST by Ely Allen

Today’s minor transactions:

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated to return from IR: CB Eli Apple

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed off Bills’ practice squad: S Lewis Cine

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Designated to return from IR: CB Troy Hill

Washington Commanders

Designated to return from IR: TE Colson Yankoff
Placed on IR: DT Haggai Ndubuisi

A former first-round pick, Cine will get a third chance in Philadelphia. The Georgia-product has failed to gain much traction at his first two stops with the Vikings and Bills, but he’ll open the postseason on the active roster with the Eagles.

Once a ball-hawking cornerback for the Rams, Hill’s role has reduced quite a bit in his age-33 season. With the playoffs coming up, though, Hill has the potential to provide some experienced depth in the Buccaneers secondary.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 1/7/25

January 7th, 2025 at 8:23pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s practice squad transactions:

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed: WR Montrell Washington
Released: LB Blake Lynch

Los Angeles Chargers

Released: WR Laviska Shenault

Los Angeles Rams

Released: S Quindell Johnson

Washington Commanders

Signed: DT Haggai Ndubuisi
Released: OT Max Pircher

To make room for veteran RB Ezekiel Elliott, the Chargers moved on from a veteran wideout. Laviska Shenault spent the majority of this season with the Seahawks, where he hauled in five catches in 11 games. The former second-round pick caught on with the Chargers practice squad in December and ended up getting into one game with the squad.

Minor NFL Transactions: 1/2/25

January 2nd, 2025 at 7:25pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor moves:

Buffalo Bills

Waived: LB Nicholas Morrow

Cincinnati Bengals

Signed to active roster: RB Kendall Milton

Detroit Lions

Waived: WR Tom Kennedy

New England Patriots

Waived: DT Haggai Ndubuisi

Seattle Seahawks

Signed to active roster: WR John Rhys Plumlee
Placed on IR: TE Brady Russell

The Patriots signed Haggai Ndubuisi off the Commanders practice squad just yesterday, but the team is already waiving the defensive tackle. As ESPN’s Mike Reiss notes, Ndubuisi is being waived with a non-football illness designation, an indication that something popped up during the player’s physical.

Brady Russell landed on IR today after the tight end dealt with a foot injury for much of the season. The special teamer got into 11 games with the Seahawks in 2024. In his place, the team signed John Rhys Plumlee from the practice squad. The rookie was listed by the Seahawks as a WR, but the former UCF QB served as an occasional signal-caller on Seattle’s scout team.
