It’s worth noting safety Jimmie Ward will remain on the active-PUP (Physically Unable to Play) list due to his foot injury, meaning he will not be part of the final 53-man roster. According to Tom Pelissero on Twitter, the NFL has placed Ward on the Commissioner Exempt List, placing supervision over of Ward’s ongoing legal issues under the league, not the Texans.

Running back Joe Mixon will miss the first four games of the season, as the team has moved him to the IR (Injury Reserve) list. Rookie defensive tackle Kyonte Hamilton and rookie cornerback Alijah Huzzie are also on the team’s IR.

The Texans also traded offensive lineman Austin Deculus to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick on Tuesday.
