Houston Texans roster cuts, updates following 2022 training camp

There’s still a lot of work to be done with the Houston Texans roster. The rebuild is in progress and new head coach Lovie Smith will be asked to bring along a lot of promising young talent.

The future might be promising, but the present is going to be a struggle. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Texans over/under wins total set at 4.5.

Houston played their final preseason game Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers. Backup spots at running back and wide receiver were still being determined.

Here, we’ll keep track of roster cuts for the Texans and what it means for the betting and fantasy football landscape ahead of the 2022 NFL season.

Texans roster news

Notable names

• RB Marlon Mack

This is pretty surprising, as Mack had been in line to start after signing with the Texans this offseason, but then Dameon Pierce happened. With rookie back Pierce playing well and winning the job, the team has decided to let Mack go.
