The Texans have cut their roster to 53. There weren't many surprises in the final 53-man roster. Houston did keep six cornerbacks, including second-year corners Brandon Harris and Roc Carmichael. The Texans also traded CB Sherrick McManis to Chicago for FB Tyler Clutts. After coach Gary Kubiak announced 19 players who were waived during his press conference Friday afternoon, the Texans still needed to make one cut. That ended up being FS Troy Nolan.
