Houston Texans 53-Man Roster Projections Preseason Week One

The third week of our Rosterology segment and we FINALLY have some football to talk about. While it was more enigmatic than clear cut and obvious, several players shined in their first professional football experience.

Most noticeably, several rookies got their run on the field Saturday. Fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce was the brightest spot with five tenacious carries. Undrafted rookie and darling of Rosterology Johnny Johnson III scored the winning TD. And undrafted free agent (UDFA) Kurt Hinish and late-round pick Thomas Booker IV recorded sacks.

Jordan Jenkins and Chad Beebe were cut yesterday and BJ Emmons and Harrison Elliot were waived, thinning down the roster to 87.
