The Houston Texans are assessing the possibility of signing cornerback Jaden Davis, who previously played for the Arizona Cardinals. Recently cleared to play, Davis took part in a workout with the Texans, as reported by KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson on September 5.
Davis was drafted by the Cardinals in 2024 during the sixth round, being the 226th overall selection. A video shared on social media showcased his readiness to return to the field. The Texans are aiming to strengthen their cornerback position, which has been impacted by injuries this season, an ongoing issue since 2025.
Currently, Jalen Pitre, a safety, is stepping into the nickelback position, while Jaylin Smith, a third-round draft choice in 2025, has missed considerable time due to injuries.
Noted in The Athletic's draft guide, Davis was recognized as one of the leading prospects still available. NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein characterized him as a nickel corner with notable foot speed and agility, but mentioned that he needs to enhance his anticipation skills to be more effective in the NFL.
Further updates regarding Davis's potential signing with the Texans are anticipated as the situation progresses.
