Chad Stanley (P) was one of 20 players released by the Texans. They must cut two more before 3 p.m. tomorrow to get their roster to 53. Houston-native and 17-year veteran Keenan McCardell was released, as well as running back Wali Lundy, the team's starter in last year's opener.

The other cuts included: Drew Hodgdon, Mike Brisiel, Bethel Johnson, Jon Abbate, Jared Zabransky, John Walker, Brandon Frye, David Anderson, Alfred Malone, DelJuan Robinson, Victor Degrate, Trent Bray, Brandon Mitchell, Darius Walker, Tyrone Poole, Dexter Mccleon and Tim Bulman.


(Some of these may end up on the practice squad & others may be brought in after the deadline from other teams; 2 cuts still to come as well.)

Darius Walker made such a good decision to come out early

I am not sure if I mean that sarcastically or not.

Have to get down to 53 this weekend, but Houston started early & cut 20 after final preseason game. Still have to cut 2 more, but since it will be the roster heading into game week it is called "final cuts".

Expect more changes & tweaking as other teams do the same & FAs sign with new teams. Houston is looking for help at safety, but finally starting to look like an NFL team. Kubiak & Rick Smith have them on the right path. Maybe 8-8 this year IMO.
