Regarding the last in......
The preseason game against the Cowboys will determine if Colvin makes this team. He's an older player who doesn't play every down to begin with and just simply has done very little to indicate he can fulfill the pass-rushing specialist the Texans are looking for. Weaver is still listed as a starter, yet my I'm just not convinced his spot is locked up. Roberson has been very impressive but with Reeves and Molden already locks, keeping Roberson makes it a very inexperienced group. I still don't think Jones is going to get cut, but I'll consider it if he has a poor showing as a WR. Correcting his punt return problems are easy - use David Anderson.
Regarding the last cut......
Ferguson might still get the nod over Barber, since the Texans might believe Barber will clear waivers and thus be signed to the practice sqaud. Ferguson can obviously play saftey right now, Barber is a special teams only player as a rookie. Williams is the Texans best special teams player and he's very, very close to being kept. He is a capable WR as well, but still would be the last guy on the depth chart. Faggins and Fletcher are not much different, but it just seems like Fletcher is just a slightly better player.

You have two fullback listed but only counted one toward the 53 man roster.
you're right. I moved Chris Taylor from RB to FB, since he's going to be a hybrid this year and possibly 4th string among RB. I also didn't alter the RB # from 5 to 4, so the 53-man total remains unchanged.
I made the corrections.
