Texans Finalize Roster Cuts Ahead of Season

Quintez Cephus, a former fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions, has reportedly been released by the Houston Texans as they finalize their 53-man roster for the 2024 season. Cephus, who missed the previous season due to a gambling suspension, struggled to secure a position after brief stints with the Buffalo Bills and the Texans. The Texans' receiving corps has been bolstered by the addition of four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs, alongside established players Nico Collins and Tank Dell, leaving limited room for depth players. John Metchie III and Xavier Hutchinson are vying for more playing time, with Metchie attracting trade interest from multiple teams due to his potential. The Texans face tough decisions on roster cuts, particularly in the wide receiver room, where the future of players like Noah Brown and Robert Woods is uncertain. As the deadline approaches, many players are at risk of being cut, marking a critical moment for the organization.
