FoxSports.com’s Adam Caplan reports that Texans running back Chris Henry has been told he will be waived. This shouldn’t come as a surprise after Henry proved he offered little in the running game in the preseason, and he had no practice squad eligibility left either.
Henry, one of the two Texans running backs to escape the preseason uninjured, will take his show on the road as the Texans look to find better patchwork solutions to their running back game while the toes of Steve Slaton and Jeremiah Johnson heal. Derrick Ward will visit today, as previously reported, but with cutdown day here, there should be a slew of other (hopefully younger) running backs who the Texans have their eyes on.
