This, according to both Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter. It’s a one-year deal. Also, for the next year – this: That’s your boy Matt, on the right. I know, I know – he’s not in college anymore, but still – nice vest. This guy is a Houston Texan. I don’t like the signing, but whatever [...]

Sourced (but unofficial) moves to this point: Texans have seven of eight practice squad spots set This from Mark “Scoop” Berman: C Brett Helms, OT Cole Pemberton, DT Malcolm Sheppard, LB Isaiah Greenhouse, S Torri Williams, WR Bobby Williams, and RB Chris Ogbonnaya. So much for Jeremiah Johnson making the P-Squad, but he may yet [...]

I hope this report isn’t true. If it is, I at least hope we sign him for a hell of a lot less than we signed Dan Orlovsky for, because I haven’t seen ANYTHING from Matt Leinart that makes me think he’s ANY kind of an upgrade over Orlovsky. As someone on Twitter said (forgive [...]

You can check out the previous entry for most of the unconfirmed (but all sourced) cuts the Texans are expected to make official today. Here are a few other roster developments we can kick around that weren’t mentioned previously: [Watch this space today for any new signings or any other roster moves.] *RB Gartrell Johnson [...]

In case you missed it, free agent RB Derrick Ward is visiting the Texans today. I’m not exactly excited about him joining the team (I think he kind of checked out once he got his big contract). That, and the guy couldn’t hack it for the Bucs, who aren’t devoid of talent at RB but [...]

“Hey, everybody’s doin’ it!” I guess this is the Texans’ Blogsphere’s version of peer pressure. This roster will actually total 54, with the Texans getting an exemption for Brian Cushing during his suspension: QBs (3) – Schaub, Booty, Orlovsky. Notable: Orlovsky’s terrible performance against the Bucs leaves Gary Kubiak with two choices, in my mind. [...]

We’ve seen the end of the first team offense and defense this preseason. We’ll continue to learn more about the team tomorrow night against the Bucs, but the focus will be on depth. If you read a lot of the Texans online coverage, whether it be the blogs or anything else, many of us have [...]

I think they did. That said, it sure was fun to see the Texans beat the Cowboys up and down the field on Saturday night. Preseason or not, that’s a good feeling. Especially after the drubbing they took in New Orleans. That said, I have some problems with what I saw on Saturday. Now, I’m [...]

I’ll have a proper game reaction entry up soon, but I want to open it up to discussion following preseason game number three. Quick thought: Tonight’s Cowboys team = last week’s Texans team. They just didn’t care. It certainly won’t be that way when they return in week three, and their defense SURE as heck [...]

Owen Daniels has been 100% cleared Great news about the would-be Pro Bowl TE. I’m still curious about what his “setback” was, but at this point it obviously doesn’t matter. Kubiak again mentioned the mysterious setback on today’s live post-practice presser over at HoustonTexans.com. Daniels will not play in the preseason, but will resume practice [...]
