Texans cut a depth DB ahead of camp, a routine roster management move. All five headlines confirm the waiver from injured reserve, indicating standard pre-season roster trimming. Carter's IR status suggests he wasn't competing for meaningful snaps this season. Fans view this as unremarkable—clearing cap space for healthy bodies matters more. Houston will rely on established cornerbacks and safeties to anchor their secondary defense.
