Yep! You are right on IR resort. You don't want to risk losing talented rookie on wavers list.

Go Texans!!!

Decided not to be lazy and googled it- the 28th is the cut down to 80, and the 2nd is the cut to 53.

Those dates are incorrect.

First cut-down day is August 27. Teams must be down to 75 players by 3pm CT. Last cut-down day is August 31. Teams must be down to 53 players by 8pm CT.

Sounds pretty much the same, but thanks for the correction. They dont give you a lot of time between the 75 cut and the 53 do they?

Back in the old days (iirc), there were multiple cutdown dates through the pre-season so it made sense. But I think during the negotiations with the players union, the number of cut-downs got reduced and the first cut-down got pushed further and further back until now, it's almost stupid to have 2 cut-down dates.

Happy birthday, Coach!

#Texans head coach Gary Kubiak turned 51 today. He was 44 when the Texans hired him on 1/26/06

[Thorn]

So, Kubiak is younger than me. That must be why I make better football decisions.

Providing I counted correctly, we have 85 players on the roster, plus one on the PUP (Sharpton), one who is suspended (Hartmann), two on IR (Fox and Sonny Harris) and one who did not report (Dwight Jones). The first cut down date down to 75 is the 27th (Monday), 10 players will be cut between this game and the last preseason game. Who are your guesses?

My best guess at the cuts would be Cody Wallace (C #70)Alan Ball (CB #36), Jimmy Saddler-McQueen (DE #67), Kasey Studdard (OG # 64), Cody White (OG #67), Rennie Moore (OLB #68), DJ Bryant (OLB #69), Nathan Menkin (OT #77), Juaquin Iglesias (WR #19), and WR Jerrell Jackson (WR #87)gets IR’ed.
