The day after dropping the last preseason game to the Bucs, the Texans have made 20 of the 22 cuts required before 3pm tomorrow.

The Texans dropped a close game to the Bears 20-19 to kickoff the pre-season in front of the home fans. Houston led the the entire game up until the last minute, as the Bears kicked a field goal to take the lead. Obviously, these games are beyond meaningless… the number one priority is always to [...]
