The Houston Texans are assessing the potential signing of Jaden Davis, a cornerback formerly with the Arizona Cardinals. Recently cleared to play, Davis participated in a workout with the Texans, as reported by KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson on September 5.
Davis was drafted by the Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, being the 226th overall selection. His recent workout was showcased in a social media video, demonstrating his readiness to return to professional football.
With injuries affecting their cornerback position since 2025, the Texans are looking to strengthen this area. Currently, Jalen Pitre, a safety, is taking on the nickelback role, while Jaylin Smith, a third-round pick in the 2025 draft, has dealt with significant injury issues during his rookie season.
Davis was recognized in The Athletic's draft guide as one of the top remaining prospects. NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein noted his good foot speed and agility as a nickel corner but mentioned the need for improvement in his anticipation skills for greater effectiveness in the NFL. Further updates regarding Davis's status and a potential signing with the Texans are anticipated as developments unfold.
