The deadline for NFL teams to cut down their rosters to 53 players has come and gone and the Houston Texans now know who will be on their active roster once their regular season gets kicked off on September 8th in Indianapolis, Indiana against AFC South rival the Colts.

The Texans did one heck of a job this offseason when it came to improving their already strong roster, but that work earlier this year ultimately made the decision making process that much more difficult when it came down to getting to 53 players.

For the most part, the Houston 53-man roster looks as it should, or was projected to be, with some little tuning here and there. Below we have outlined who has made the Texans' opening day roster and those who have been released or placed on some type of injured reserve list.
