According to Aaron Wilson, the Texans are re-signing CB Damon Arnette to the practice squad.
Houston will need to make a corresponding move from a practice squad that now includes:
- DE Solomon Byrd
- C Eli Cox
- RB Jawhar Jordan
- TE Luke Lachey
- DT Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi (International)
- DT Junior Tafuna
- WR Jared Wayne
- LB Jackson Woodard
- WR Josh Kelly
- OL Sidy Sow
- DB Ajani Carter
- DB Jalen Mills
- WR Quintez Cephus
- DT Marlon Davidson
- RB Jawhar Jordan
- DB Alijah Huzzie
- TE Layne Pryor (Injured)
- DB K’Von Wallace
- CB Damon Arnette
Arnette, 28, was selected with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Raiders. He agreed to a four-year, $13,418,540 rookie contract that included a $7,318,938 signing bonus.
However, Las Vegas elected to cut Arnette loose when it was discovered he was facing multiple lawsuits due to a car accident and threatening someone with a firearm. From there, he caught on with the Dolphins practice squad during the 2021 season and eventually joined the Chiefs on a futures contract for the 2022 season.
Unfortunately, Arnette was arrested in Las Vegas back in 2022 for assault with a deadly weapon and was subsequently released by Kansas City. He caught on with the Texans in August and re-joined their practice squad after being cut loose coming out of the preseason.
In 2025, Arnette has appeared in two games for the Texans and recorded three total tackles.
