Samkon Gado has made the Houston roster as their No. 3 running back.
He beat out Wali Lundy. As number three running backs go, Gado has some upside in his second season in Houston if Ahman Green or Ron Dayne get hurt.

Sly, any insight news on your end? With Wali doing so good last night against the Bucs, why did he get cut?

"The Texans also released second-year running back Wali Lundy, a starter a year ago. Houston signed Ahman Green in the offseason and has 1999 Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne and Samkon Gado."
‘‘Samkon has had an excellent offseason,'' Kubiak said. ‘‘Wali improved, but I think the whole group improved and it was a tough call between him and Samkon and we felt like Samkon has won that position. It was very difficult to let Wali go.''

Samkon is safe as the last two slots are expected to be taken care of in a trade (likely an LB, DL and/or TE).
The question now is whether or not he will be active and get full game money each week. He's battling Lynchburg's own Ron Dayne for that distinction unless Ahman goes down again (which you know is inevitable).

Lauren has been waived by the Raiders
