The Houston Texans are exploring the possibility of adding Jaden Davis, a former cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, to their roster. Davis, who has recently been medically cleared, participated in a workout with the Texans on September 5, as reported by KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson.
Davis was selected by the Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, being the 226th overall pick. His performance has garnered attention, particularly as the Texans have faced injuries at the cornerback position this season, a situation that mirrors challenges they encountered in 2025.
In his draft analysis, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein noted that Davis possesses above-average foot speed and agility but highlighted a need for improvement in his ball production and anticipation skills. The Athletic's Dane Brugler also acknowledged Davis as one of the notable prospects in his 2024 draft guide.
Currently, the Texans are utilizing Jalen Pitre, a safety, in the nickelback position. They also drafted Jaylin Smith in the third round of the 2025 draft, although Smith's rookie season was largely impacted by injuries. Further updates on Davis and the Texans' decision-making process are expected as the situation develops.
