The Houston Texans are evaluating the potential signing of Jaden Davis, a cornerback who has played for the Arizona Cardinals. Recently, Davis was cleared to return to action and took part in a workout with the Texans, as reported by KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson on September 5.
Davis was chosen by the Cardinals during the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, being the 226th overall selection. His recent workout was shared on social media, showcasing his readiness to rejoin the field.
The Texans are aiming to strengthen their cornerback lineup, which has been impacted by injuries this season, an issue that has continued since 2025. Currently, safety Jalen Pitre is stepping in for the nickelback position, while Jaylin Smith, a third-round pick from the 2025 draft, has been sidelined for a considerable part of his rookie season due to injuries.
Davis was highlighted in The Athletic's draft guide as one of the top remaining prospects. NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein noted that while he possesses good foot speed and agility as a nickel corner, improvements in anticipation skills are needed to enhance his performance at the NFL level.
Further updates regarding Davis's status and a possible signing with the Texans are anticipated as the situation unfolds.
