With Luke Mauro filling in for John Lopez, Reggie, Figgy and Luke kick off In The Loop reacting to the Texans' initial 53-man roster following cutdown day, breaking down the biggest surprises, notable decisions, and what the roster says about Houston heading into the regular season. The conversation shifts to the Astros and Brent Strom's return as a pitching consultant, as the guys debate how much of an impact the longtime pitching coach can make during the stretch run, before asking the Question of the Day: What are you still holding out hope on? ITL then goes Around The NFL before Luke wonders whether the Jeff Luhnow era could help explain why Jim Crane has become so involved in the Astros' baseball operations, and the hour wraps with What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Later, the guys continue their reaction to the Texans' initial 53, digging deeper into the cuts, surprise roster spots, and position groups that stood out, followed by ITL Lunch-Time Confessions and Winners & Losers of the Weekend.

In The Loop goes Around The NFL, reacting to the biggest news, roster moves, and storylines from across the league following cutdown day.

ITL debates whether that could help explain Crane's increased oversight of the organization today. The hour wraps with What's Popping, covering the biggest stories from sports and entertainment.
