Houston Texans: Five ways to improve the roster before week one
By T.A. Mock
The Houston Texans have made their moves to get down to 53 men on the roster but, let’s take a look at five ways they could improve this roster.
One of the hardest days in the NFL has passed. The day where teams have to trim their rosters from 90+ players down to 53. The Houston Texans got this process started early on Friday by trimming down about halfway to the maximum 53.
There were some surprising cuts like Shane Lechler or even Braxton Miller. There were also some surprising keeps that the team made. But, I’ll talk more on those later in the week. Several other teams had some similar moves that also rattled some fanbases.
However, the silver lining to all of these cuts is that guys get new opportunities with new teams across the entire league. From young guys who aren’t a fit systematically to older guys getting cut as a cap casualty, there are plenty of opportunities to be had as teams are constantly looking to improve.

There are a few areas where the Texans could potentially look to either improve or add numbers at. To me, there are some spots that stand out more than others. Backup quarterback is one of those spots as I don’t like this team’s chances if Deshaun Watson were to go down again. But, viable backup quarterback options are hard to come by.
Regardless, there are still ways that Brian Gaine and Bill O’Brien can improve this team. So, let’s look at five ways to do so.
