Texans could cut Justin Watson amid roster changes ahead of season

The Houston Texans may release wide receiver Justin Watson as they reassess their roster options ahead of the regular season. Currently, the team has 12 wide receivers, a number likely to decrease. Watson, who has won three Super Bowls, had a limited impact last season due to injuries, with just three receptions for 30 yards in the regular season. As training camp approaches, the Texans will focus on optimizing their offensive capabilities and determining quarterback C.J. Stroud's future, raising the stakes for Watson’s potential cut. Analysts suggest that moving on from veterans carries risks, considering the inexperience of other receivers on the roster.
