Former Bucs 2nd Rounder Cut Again
14 Oct
Summary
- Chris Braswell was waived by the Houston Texans on Tuesday.
- He played two seasons with the Buccaneers but never started a game.
- Braswell is still seeking his first regular-season snap of 2026.
Chris Braswell, a former second-round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is once again seeking an opportunity in the National Football League. The Houston Texans waived the 24-year-old on Tuesday, October 14, 2026, marking another turn in his NFL journey. Braswell had been inactive for the Texans' recent victory and has not yet played in a game this season.
Originally drafted by Tampa Bay with the 57th overall pick in 2024, Braswell played in all 34 regular-season games during his two years with the team but never earned a starting position. His statistics with the Buccaneers include 48 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, and 1 forced fumble.
The Buccaneers released Braswell during their final roster cuts in August, concluding his tenure with the team. He was subsequently added to the Texans' practice squad in September before being elevated to the active roster later that month. As of October 14, 2026, Braswell has yet to record a regular-season snap in 2026, and his waiving by the Texans represents a significant hurdle for the young player.
