The Houston Texans hosted OLB Xavier Thomas for a visit on Tuesday, per the NFL transaction wire. 

That suggests he’s likely signing to their practice squad shortly. 

Thomas, 25, is a former fifth-round pick by the Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Clemson. 

He was in the second year of a four-year, $4,370,624 rookie contract and due a base salary of $960,000 in 2025 when the Cardinals waived him in November. 

In 2025, Thomas has appeared in four games for the Cardinals but hasn’t recorded any stats.
