Texans Announce Final Roster Moves To Get To 53
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:
- T Trent Brown (story)
- TE Harrison Bryant
- CB Myles Bryant
- WR Quintez Cephus
- LS Blake Ferguson
- FB Jakob Johnson
- CB Arthur Maulet (story)
- T Conor McDermott
- S Jalen Mills
- LB Nick Niemann (story)

- TE Luke Lachey
- DT Haggai Ndubuisi
- LB K.C. Ossai
- WR Cornell Powell
- QB Kedon Slovis
- T Jaylon Thomas
- LB Jackson Woodard
- S Russ Yeast
Placed on IR (designated for return):
Placed on IR:
- TE Irv Smith Jr.
- WR Juwann Winfree
Placed on reserve/NFI:
- CB Alijah Huzzie
- RB Joe Mixon (story)
Placed on reserve/PUP:
- DE Denico Autry
- WR Tank Dell
- DT Kurt Hinish
Placed on commissioner exempt/reserve/PUP:
- S Jimmie Ward (story)
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.

As a reminder, players who land on the physically unable to perform list or the non-football injury list can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason. If players remain on either of those two lists following initial 53-man rosters, they’ll be forced to sit out the first four games of the 2024 season.
While the majority of the Dolphins’ injuries were expected, Isaiah Wynn‘s placement on PUP is a bit of a surprise. The offensive lineman continues to recover from a quadriceps injury that ended his 2023 campaign in October, but his rehab is apparently taking longer than expected. After mostly playing offensive tackle to begin his career, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says the former first-round pick is expected to be the “front-runner” at left guard once he’s healthy enough to see the field. Jackson also passed along that Salvon Ahmed‘s issue isn’t related to his season-ending foot injury from last season and is a result of a “minor medical issue.” The RB is firmly on the roster bubble heading into training camp.

There was good news on the Horton front back in May as it was announced that the Texans defender had completed his final treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma. As a rookie out of TCU, Horton sat out the final seven games of the 2023 season on the non-football illness list. As he continues to work his way back to the field, it appears he’ll start the summer on the list, as well.
Thompson’s situation in Kansas City also received some good news of late. After suffering a seizure that caused him to go into cardiac arrest in early-June, the Chiefs defender continues to make progress towards a return. He’ll start the summer on the non-football injury list but will continue to work his way back as he continues with medical procedures, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic.
