See the Houston Texans’ 2021 roster after the cut to 53 players

The Houston Texans announced their final cuts to get to 53 men on their active roster.

There are some surprise moves. Deshaun Watson sticks around as the presumptive No. 3 quarterback on the roster. Receiver Keke Coutee was waived. The Texans also went with three tight ends and eight offensive linemen despite committing to the run in 2021.

Houston will still have some more moves to make as they finalize their 16-man practice squad. Those moves can being until after 11:00 a.m. Central Time on Sept. 1 when players clear through the waiver wire.

Here is a look at the Texans’ final roster as it stands on Aug. 31.
