Texans waive Lewis Bond and Jawhar Jordan during roster cuts
Summary

The Houston Texans released rookie wide receiver Lewis Bond and running back Jawhar Jordan at the roster cutdown deadline on August 30. Despite a productive preseason performance, Bond was squeezed out of a deep wide receiver room. Jordan, who returned from a hip flexor injury, was released while healthy. The team currently holds running backs David Montgomery, Woody Marks, and British Brooks, though shifts to the backfield remain possible. Reports suggest the organization may attempt to sign both players to the practice squad if they clear waivers, a strategy the team has utilized successfully with previous day-three draft picks. Additionally, league sources indicate Noah Whittington is expected to join the practice squad following the roster adjustments.
