Texans roster moves

Really wish HT.com would post who is officially signed as UDFA on their website.

They talk about equal treatment for all the rookies but only the drafted ones have names on the HT.com roster.

LIES!
 
I would've liked to have seen Cruse get a shot in camp. I liked what I saw last year. Oh well, I'll just have to watch him on Baltimore's team. :D

from S.I.

The Houston Texans have released FB Brad Smelley and DL Tim Jackson, and have signed TE Chris Coyle.
With Smelley’s release, rookie FB Jay Prosch has become the team’s main fullback.
The Houston Texans actually signed Tim Jackson and cut Chris Coyle on June 18th, and have now reversed the transaction.
Coyle signed with the team after the draft but was cut during OTA’s. He will wear #85.
Neither of these moves too relevant in the grand scheme of things. Coyle will have a tough time making the roster with Garrett Graham, Ryan Griffin, and rookie C.J. Fiedorowicz all ahead of him on the depth chart. Neither Jackson nor Smelley were expected to make the final 53-man roster.
The Houston Texans will have their first Training Camp practice on July 26th.

Physically, Jackson brings a lot to the table. 6'4, 290 lbs and runs a 4.90 forty. 32 bench reps. The guy is a great athlete for his size.

Unfortunately, he never produced at UNC despite a lot of opportunity at a school that churns out defensive prospects.

Both Powe & Nix are listed at 331. Hunter 301 RT @sportsmediaLM: @awexler how fat is he?

#Texans announce signing of NT David Hunter (Houston) who had been with Houston previously in 2012

Hunter was with #Texans in 2012.

Camp body for Nix, III.
 
I think he could be more than camp fodder.

Hunter spent 2008-11 with the Cougars, totaling 163 tackles and seven sacks in four seasons.
 
Dave Zangaro ‏@DZangaro
Brooks, Sapp, Grimes and Quessenberry all count toward the 90-man roster.

The team has also announced the signing of OT Tyson Clabo. #Texans

David Quessenberry has been added to Active/Non-football illness list. Still counts toward 90-man roster. #Texans

The #Texans have added Brandon Brooks, Jonathan Grimes and Ricky Sapp to Active/Non-football injury list.

Brandon Brooks? What's his issue?
Click to expand...

Little was made of an injury that Brooks was dealing with since near the beginning of the season last year..........turf toe.......just like Duane Brown. In that all the "active/non-football illness list" tells you is that the reason for the listing is not based on an injury (does not even have to be an injury, e.g., Quessenbery) suffered practicing or working out with the team.

Just a thought. Both Brooks and Brown were publicized to have trained MMA in the offseason (would fit the definition). Someone suffering from a turf toe does not tend to do well with kicking maneuvers involved in MMA........not a real smart type of activity for a previous injury that commonly recurs and as such can easily become chronic.

Jayson Braddock ‏@JaysonBraddock
Didn't go into detail on length of time on Brooks, said Sapp back in 1-2 weeks

Sources say that Brandon Brooks was placed on the NFI list due to a back issue & Ricky Sapp due to a deep gash around the ankle. #Texans

Adam Caplan @caplannfl
OLB Lawrence Sidbury is expected to sign with the #Texans, per source.
Click to expand...

Sidbury, a fourth-round pick in 2009, spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Falcons. Although he was active in 48 games for the team, he played sparingly, totaling just 362 defensive snaps in those four years, along with occasional contributions on special teams. The 28-year-old signed joined the Colts in 2013, but was sidelined with a shoulder injury and landed on injured reserve.

very good athlete... but he never has figured it out in the NFL. He has the potential to make an impact as a pass rusher. I like the optimism. Instead of adding bodies in camp that don't belong in the NFL but have ties to some of the coaches, we are signing guys that could become real assets if they figure it out. Good move.

How many guys figure it out after 5 years?

Why is 3 years too much patience for the Texans' picks?
 
IIRC, a lot of us liked him when he was coming out of college... at least, I remember him being one of the guys on my list, at any rate... but if he hadn't put it together, yet, and has been one of the problems on that Falcon defense...

I'd say he's turned out to be JAG and I doubt he'll be anything but a blocking dummy.

Your second question is coming from left field.

To answer your first: not many. I'm simply stating that I like that they are filling the back end of their 90 man roster with a guy that has potential, even if it is not likely to see it realized.
 
I like that competition. Olb is a weak spot on this defense with Mercilus and reed. Clowney is a rookie. Need guys that can at least be in a rotation and give some good snaps.

Need Mercilus to take a big leap forward. A huge leap. I'll be surprised if it happens, but it's possible.

Either way, he and Reed need to have some talent behind them just in case.
 
I was a huge fan of Sidbury when he came out. He was obviously a project, but had a great set of tools to work with. Really hoping he can figure it out.
 
Quentin Groves at 6'3", 265 lbs gives the Texans yet another camp body to allow them to run two full sets of 11-on-11 drills, which gives a lot more reps to down the roster players during camp -- instead of 22 guys working & 68 guys watching.

Reason behind the #Texans signings of 2 LBers today Only Whitney Mercilus & 3 UDFAs are completely healthy & full-time OLBers at training camp Ricky Sapp and Trevardo Williams are currently sidelined, Jadeveon Clowney isn't full go, and Brooks Reed will split time at ILB & OLB this season. That leaves Whitney Mercilus, Jason Ankrah, Terrance Lloyd, and Chris McAllister as the only full-time OLBs that are completely healthy. -- Braddock

With OLBs Groves and Sidbury at practice, 2 players have 2B moved to stay @90. Hearing Cody White & Alan Bonner the moves, hearing no1 cut

Injury moves to be made to get back to 90. Shame for Bonner. Hope it's not the hammy, again.

I was thinking the same (recurrent hamstring). But anatomic (medical) definition of "leg" is the portion of the lower limb between the knee and ankle only (including tibia and fibula, calf muscles, Achilles tendon, etc.). The term is sometimes used incorrectly to refer to the entire "lower limb" (with what should be the true anatomic "leg" in this case designated by the term "lower leg") Most teams and their medical staffs are sophisticated enough that they differentiate the two terms and use the correct anatomic designation in reporting injuries. So, technically, Bonner's injury should not reflect another hamstring tear..............
 
To reinforce the anatomic definition of "leg" in my post above, Cody White who was reported to have a "right leg injury," has now been identified as having a torn Achilles tendon.

So what does one call the upper part of the lower limb in reporting out of curiosity?
 
James Palmer ‏@JPalmerCSN
It's official, #Texans waived the following players injured: Alan Bonner, Cody White.

Also Texans waive Anthony Dima. He left the team.

The anatomic leg and anatomic foot, just like the anatomic thigh and anatomic leg, are distinctly separate entities. Either they originally used the wrong term, or very likely, the correct diagnosis of the injury was not made until after the initial report.
