Cuts to 53 underway

[Arky]

There's also this:

The Houston Texans waived-injured the following seven players:

RaShaun Allen
Lonnie Ballentine
Cory Carter
Matthew Godin
Denzel Rice
Malik Smith
Wendall Williams

The Houston Texans waived the following player from the active roster with an injury settlement:

Robert Nelson Jr.


The Houston Texans waived the following two players from the Reserve/Injured list with an injury settlement:

Dayon Pratt
Devin Street

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So, Wendall and Ballentine are gone. Hmmm...

They kept 6 RB's including Jordan Todman who was with Indy last year. Keep in mind someone will lose a job if/when D Brown comes back and Strong is currently not counted due to the one week suspension....
Is Newton coming back this year?

Some will be signed to the practice squad.....

I think we should sign T.J. Ward now that Denver has cut him. I'd be tempted to look at Kony Ealy as well but he seemed to have quickly found Belichick's doghouse which makes me think he'd land in O'Brien's just as easily.

I think the only downside with Ward is he is close to the perma-ban level on targeting fouls much like Swearingen was. Hey, sometimes you just cant help hitting a guy's head, particularly when they duck while bracing for impact.

What was his injury again? Third degree burns?

Eheh. Ya know, sometimes you wonder if the braintrust sees things the way some of us do.... They've elected to keep the UDFA Dee Virgin so they must like him more than Nelson....

Also, they kept 6 DE's? Do we really need that many on the 53? Gotta think that is where some pruning will take place when they need to make some room. Dunn, Heath or Kamalu likely to be shifted to PS....
