A HOUSTON -- The Texans are looking for a punter, a fifth wide receiver and depth in the defensive line as they continue to retool a roster that stood at 52 on Saturday night.
The Texans waived punter Brad Maynard and will claim or sign a new one. After keeping Bryant Johnson, who had three catches for 64 yards against Minnesota Thursday night despite participating in only two practices last week, theyd like to find a fifth wideout like David Anderson.
He played five seasons with the Texans before being a cap casualty and signing with the Broncos, who waived him.
There has been a lot of speculation in Dallas that once defensive end Igor Olshansky was released, he would sign with the Texans. He played for defensive coordinator Wade Phillips at San Diego and Dallas.
The Texans kept six of eight draft choices and one undrafted free agent -- outside linebacker Bryan Braman.
Running back Steve Slaton, fourth on the depth chart, was retained. He didnt play in preseason because of a hamstring injury. Hes 100 percent and could be trade bait or insurance in case Arian Foster doesnt recover from his hamstring injury as fast as the team hopes.
Running back Chris Ogbonnaya, who led the team in preseason with 54 carries for 192 yards, was waived and could end up on the practice squad for the second consecutive season.
