The Facts: The Texans cut five players, including Taylor, and claimed four others off waivers on Sunday. Among those added was former Buccaneers receiver Edell Shepherd.

Diehards Line:The move leaves the Texans with just two healthy running backs -- rookie Wali Lundy and second-year player Vernand Morency -- after placing Domanick Davis on the injured reserve on Saturday. The Texans now have 52 players on their roster, one under the NFL-required limit, so they are likely to add another running back. Ron Dayne -- familiar with Gary Kubiak's offense -- might be a possible candidate.
