Among those released are defensive tackle Dominic Bailey and wide receiver Lewis Bond. Linebacker Caleb Johnson and tight end Brevin Jordan, both with notable league experience, were also among the cuts. Additionally, the Texans parted ways with cornerback Bryce Hall and safety George Odum.
In a trade, the Texans sent center/guard Jarrett Patterson to the San Francisco 49ers while acquiring tackle Nathan Thomas from the Dallas Cowboys. The team has placed several players on the Reserve/Injured list, including wide receiver Tank Dell and safety Ja'Marcus Ingram, who are both eligible to return. Defensive end Ali Gaye has also been placed on the Reserve/Injured list, while linebacker E.J.
Speed is now on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. These roster adjustments come as the Texans gear up for their matchup at Reliant Stadium.
