It's new because it was posted on the team site. It shows cut players because I think the cut becomes official tomorrow.

Not pretty, but ALIVE!
DQ may not count against cap and in this case it is beneficial. We can offer him support without it counting against the cap and become THE charity which begins at home for the Texans. This takes it out of the Individual vs Team realm.
If this is not the case, then I hope they do the right thing anyway.

When did Mr Irrelevant get injured?

He injured himself at the beginning of TC and was essentially limited throughout TC. The injury was never characterized, but a good bet is that it is a hamstring. Something that he dealt with recurrently in college.

Ah, Football!
Personally, I'd keep Labhart over Martin. And no, I'm not an A&M alum
AJ, D-Hop, Posey, Thomas, Labhart and a toss up between Martin and EZ. I think EZ has a better chance to take the top off a D than Martin

I agree with you although I think Martin has surprisingly looked OK this preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if Labhart has some mysterious injury that will require him to be moved to the IR pretty soon.

At this point I'd go ahead and roll with 2 QBs and keep 6 wrs if need be

Mike Thomas hasn't done anything. I'm not sure I'd keep him over anyone.
Dre, Hop, Posey, Martin, Labhart.
EZ and Thomas compete for the last spot if we go with 6. If Not, Oh well.
All Thomas has done is supposedly look good early in camp.
And I keep hearing that McClung looks really good. I think he's the guy we might try to stash if true.
I think Labhart makes this team. No stash needed. He's already good enough to contribute.

True, I also fail to see anything in the PS games to reflect Thomas's reportedly very strong camp (at least early camp, stopped hearing about him all together it seems lately)
But I feel the coaching staff may value his experience, since really that would be the major weakness of all the other bubble guys.
Also, I think Thomas and Martin are the only 2 legitimate KR/PR options... (even though personally I hate Martin in the return game)

When he was placed on the IR!
What he said.
Mike Thomas is listed as the #1 punt and kick returner; and he had a great camp.

He was looking good in OTA's from what I remember... then TC came around and he pretty much disappeared from the radar.

Even being third isn't a picnic.

Whew that is going to be tough to eliminate 22 players from that depth chart.
I liked Sidbury, too. Martin has shown improvement, to me.
Joe Adams was the one guy I was thinking they'd keep to take the top off the opposing D...
...wonder why they didn't keep him...?
He didn't look real good on ST's to me.
CloakNNNdagger

His hands has been the problems his entire college and CFL and NFL career. During TC/preseason, he essentially showed nothing as a STer or WR......doesn't make for a good argument to keep him.
That'll do it.

My gut tells me Tim Jamison is going to be cut. Ricardo Matthews has had a good showing and has the ability to play DE and NT.
The coaching staff probably loves that kind of versatility

I think they will keep Jamison but cut Browner and Warmsley
If we're going to pick up 11~12 players off the wire, there are a lot more moves to be made.
I just don't see that happening. There would have to be some considerable talent getting cut to let go of guys that have a full preseason worth of knowledge and practice to bring in a bumch of back ups that have to learn the entire system. I don't see teams cutting that many considerable talents.
