Naperville North graduate Glenn Earl was cut on Friday. The safety was one of 21 players the Houston Texans let go as they try to get down to their 53-man roster.
This is what Houston Chronicle blogger Lance Zierlein wrote about Earl after the Notre Dame product was sent packing.
Earl didn't have a bad camp and should catch on with another team, but he was a victim of being on a roster with nothing but the same type of box safeties that he is. Earl is physical and has okay instincts so he'll catch on somewhere.
Earl was one of three Naperville products on the Texans roster along with running back Chris Brown (Naperville North) and tight end Owen Daniels (Naperville Central). There was some thought that Brown would be a roster victim because of his balky back. Brown isn't safe yet as the Texans have one more cut to make.
