HOUSTON – The Houston Texans are cutting running back Phillip Lindsay, who they had signed just this past offseason.
Lindsay was acquired this offseason as new GM Nick Caserio brought in depth for the running back, with Mark Ingram Jr. being another notable running back signee in the offseason. Now, both are no longer Texans - Ingram was traded to the New Orleans Saints nearly a month ago.
