2013 Houston Texans final roster cuts
By Mike Dyce
On Saturday NFL teams had to trim their rosters down to 53-men as we change gears from preseason to regular season. Unfortunately that means the end of a lot of talented players dreams at making an NFL roster. Some will get opportunities on practice squads, some will see that chapter of their life come to an end, at least until possibly next season.
Some players are released, some are waived and some players that they want to hold onto but are injured have other options. There is the physically unable to perform list as well as injured reserve.
Here are two master lists: NFC final roster cuts and AFC final roster cuts.
Houston Texans:
- defensive end Keith Browner
- tight end Jake Byrne
- cornerback Roc Carmichael
- fullback Tyler Clutts
- linebacker Cameron Collins
- receiver Andy Cruse
- offensive lineman Tyler Horn
- defensive end Delano Johnson
- running back Dennis Johnson
- safety Orhian Johnson
- nose tackle Chris Jones
- running back Deji Karim
- offensive linemanAlex Kupper
- cornerback Elbert Mack
- tackle Nate Menkin
- linebacker Mike Mohamed
- receiver EZ Nwachukwu
- safety Jawanza Starling
- defensive lineman Daniel Muir
