The Houston Texans are working to finalize their 53-man roster for the upcoming NFL season, with the deadline set for 5 p.m. CT on Sunday. Currently, the team has cut 10 players, resulting in a total of 80 athletes remaining in training camp.
Several players are facing uncertainty regarding their future with the team. Running back Noah Whittington has shown potential but will need to compete as the running back group regains health.
Wide receiver Justin Watson, who joined the team in 2025, is also in contention after recovering from an Achilles injury, but the situation is made more difficult by the depth in the receiving group after Jayden Higgins' injury.
Tight end Brevin Jordan is attempting to return from multiple knee injuries, though ongoing issues may affect his chances of making the final roster. Center Jake Andrews, who was a starter last season, could also be at risk due to heightened competition in his position.
Defensive tackle Naquan Jones has had a strong showing in camp, making him a candidate to stay on the roster, though the depth on the defensive line may influence his standing. The Texans will make final roster decisions as they aim to meet the 53-player requirement by the deadline.
