Excerpt from article: As indicated by head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien on Monday, the Texans have indeed begun to ‘chip away’ at their roster as they aim to hit the magic 53-man marker by 3 p.m. CT on the 5th of September.
The first to be let go by the Texans were defensive tackle Albert Huggins, quarterback Alex McGough and linebacker Daren Bates.
The biggest surprise here is, by far, special-teams ace Bates. The 29-year-old only signed for the Texans on August 22 after three successful years with the Tennessee Titans but is one of the first to be relieved of his duties.
