The Houston Texans are looking into the potential signing of cornerback Jaden Davis, who previously played for the Arizona Cardinals. Davis has been medically cleared to return to the field and recently participated in a workout with the Texans. This information was shared by KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson on September 5.
Davis was drafted by the Cardinals as the 226th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. His recent workout, which showcased his readiness, was highlighted in a video on social media. The Texans are aiming to strengthen their cornerback position, which has been affected by injuries since 2025.
Currently, Jalen Pitre, a safety, is stepping into the nickelback position, while Jaylin Smith, selected in the third round of the 2025 draft, has faced significant injury challenges during his rookie season.
Davis was recognized in The Athletic's draft guide as among the top remaining prospects. NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein noted his speed and agility as a nickel corner but mentioned that he needs to work on his anticipation skills for better performance in the NFL. Further updates regarding Davis's potential signing with the Texans are anticipated as the situation unfolds.
