- The Texans are releasing reserve wide receiver Isaiah Coulter, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
Coulter was drafted in the fifth round last year out of Rhode Island.
A former All-Colonial Athletic Association selection who had 1,039 receiving yards as a junior before declaring for the NFL draft, Coulter was targeted just once in a 26-7 preseason win over the Green Bay Packers and had no catches.
Coulter (6-foot-1, 198 pounds) has run the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds.
As a rookie, he spent part of the season on injured reserve before being designated for return.
He played in one game last season and had no statistics.
The Texans must cut their roster down from 90 to 85 before Tuesday, August 17 by 4:00 p.m. ET. Coulter is the first name to go, but he certainly will not be the last.
Texans Daily will continue to keep you up to date with the latest roster cuts entering Week 2 of the NFL preseason.
