Texans Make Cuts, Close To 53

September 2nd, 2016 at 12:34pm CST by Zachary Links

CB Terrance Mitchell (Twitter link via Berman)
G Karim Barton (Twitter link via Mark Berman of FOX 26)
WR Wendall Williams
WR Quenton Bundrage
TE Anthony Denham (Twitter link via Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle)

Mitchell, a former member of the Cowboys, hooked on with the Texans after he was waived in June. Jason Garrett spoke highly of Mitchell in the spring, but Dallas bounced him in the summer.

Allen, 27, is a former Jet, having spent the past three seasons in New York, where he appeared in 38 games and started 18. He signed a one-year deal that included $80K guaranteed this spring.
