Texans release McCardell, Stanley, 18 others

McCardell was signed just before training camp to bolster Houston's receiving group, but the emergence of third-round pick Jacoby Jones pushed the 37-year-old out of a job. McCardell, who was released by San Diego after last season, was injured through a big chunk of camp and had just one reception in the preseason.

Jones, a former track standout from Division II Lane College, caught on so quickly that coach Gary Kubiak kept just five receivers.

"We drafted him (Jones) in the third round and had I been standing here today with him having a slow process of becoming a player in this league and helping this team, then there's no doubt we'd be keeping six," Kubiak said. "But his growth in such a short period of time and what he's been able to do has helped us go with five wide receivers and that's the bottom line."

Dude's been lighting it up so far. Could be a breakout player for the Texans, and give Johnson some room to breathe hopefully.

I liked him on draft day, I wouldnt have reached into the 2nd round for him but I knew he had a chance to be solid..... rare size and speed combo, only knocks were that he played with a Div II school and he struggles to make plays when faced with tight ball coverage but he has the speed to be a potential game-breaking type #2 receiver and compliment to Andre Johnson

not to mention what he does for the return game, and he was a third round pick this year
