The Houston Texans are evaluating Jaden Davis, a cornerback who previously played for the Arizona Cardinals, as they seek to bolster their depth in the secondary. Davis, who stands 5-foot-10, was recently medically cleared to participate in workouts and trained for the Texans on September 5, according to a report by KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson.
Davis was selected by the Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, coming in at the 226th overall pick. His workout video was shared on social media, showcasing his readiness to return to the field.
The Texans have faced injuries at the cornerback position this season, a situation that echoes the challenges they encountered in 2025. The team currently features Jalen Pitre, a safety, starting at nickelback, and they drafted Jaylin Smith in the third round of the 2025 draft, although Smith had a limited rookie season due to injuries.
Davis has been recognized for his potential, with The Athletic's Dane Brugler noting him among the "best of the rest" in his 2024 draft guide. NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein commented on Davis's skills, highlighting his quick footwork and agility but also pointing out the need for improvement in his ball production and anticipation skills to enhance his effectiveness in the NFL.
