The Houston Texans will cut their roster to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Saturday.
The Texans are coming off their second consecutive AFC South title, and fourth in five years, but enter the 2020 season with a very different offense around quarterback Deshaun Watson. Houston traded three-time All Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in March and did not re-sign running back Carlos Hyde, who had the best season of his NFL career. Instead, the Texans traded for running back David Johnson and wide receiver Brandin Cooks in an effort to replace the production they will be missing from Hopkins.
Here is a 53-man roster projection:
QUARTERBACK (2): Deshaun Watson, AJ McCarron
The Texans are set at quarterback with Watson and McCarron as a backup. McCarron signed a one year, $4 million contract this offseason.
