The Houston Texans have announced roster changes, including the release of rookie defensive tackle Dominic Bailey. This decision comes after the team added quarterback Mark Gronowski and center Gavin Gerhardt to their practice squad. The news was shared by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2.
Bailey had a short stint back on the practice squad after being cut during the team's final roster decisions to meet the 53-player limit. Additionally, the Texans parted ways with Ka’ena De Cambra, who had only been with the team for a week after signing on September 1.
Gronowski, previously a quarterback for the Dolphins and Hawkeye Football, joins the Texans' practice squad. Gerhardt, a seventh-round draft selection in 2026, is recognized for his leadership and understanding of the game. He is expected to enhance the offensive line, joining Evan Brown, Jake Andrews, and rookie first-round pick Keylan Rutledge.
The team is focused on developing Gerhardt's skills, as he was chosen for his football intelligence and fit within the Texans' culture. The full impact of these roster changes is still to be determined.
