The Houston Texans must cut their roster to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Saturday, Sept. 2. Here’s a final 53-man roster projection:
Savage beat out Watson for the Texans’ starting quarterback job during training camp, but he could be on a short leash if he struggles. Watson is the Texans' backup quarterback, but Houston will keep all three guys on their 53-man roster.
The Texans probably won’t keep five running backs, and the extra roster spot likely would go somewhere on defense. The Texans like Ervin's versatility, and with the injuries at wide receiver, he could see time in the slot this season.
