Most likely that will be Greenhouse, who should clear waivers and then be placed back on the practice squad.

I was just at the Texans website. Maybe someone can figure out who I may not be thinking about. I counted 54 players listed on the roster. Cushing is listed. Denney is still listed, but Anderson is not yet listed. After those updates, it appears there will still be one spot available with Cush being active.

Because they have a roster exemption for Cush, they technically don't have to release anyone until Saturday.

So in effect sounds like they can carry a 54-man roster until Saturday when Cushings exemption expires ?

Yepper, that is the way that I understand it.

They are trying to see which guys get healthy by Saturday so they can have a a strong special teams. It appears Sharpton is going to be available so that may mean Greenhouse goes back to the PS.

If Cushing is one of the 54 I counted and still has his exemption at this point, then that would mean there are 2 roster spots available. When Cushing's exemption expires on Saturday, there will still be one spot available.

You might be thinking the roster can carry 55, but its 53.

So, right now with Cushing being 54, they are one over, not two under.

I was a little surprised they cut Jamison as well.

Perhaps Anderson will do well here.

You're right, I was thinking it was 55 for some reason. Never mind.
