Where are the Texans in the waiver wire order?

The Houston Texans trimmed their roster to 53 players on Tuesday, and it’s almost time for them to start building their 16-player practice squad and potentially make some changes to their roster.

While the Texans released a slew of players, so did the rest of the NFL, which means there multiple premier targets on the waiver wire that might have Houston’s interest, especially in areas like defensive tackle and cornerback

But teams can’t just go out and sign whoever they want with a big-time check. They’ll need to hope that another team ahead of them in the waiver order doesn’t also want that player. Houston isn’t sitting in the top spot in the waiver wire priority, meaning it’ll have to hope talent falls in its lap.

The waiver claim deadline is Wednesday at 11 a.m. CT.  Those waiver claims will be announced an hour later and then teams can begin filling out their practice squads.

Here’s the order of the waiver priority list, which is identical to the 2024 draft order:
