Texans Re-Sign CB Damon Arnette To Practice Squad

Houston will need to make a corresponding move from a practice squad that now includes: 

1. DE Solomon Byrd
2. C Eli Cox
3. RB Jawhar Jordan
4. TE Luke Lachey
5. DT Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi (International)
6. DT Junior Tafuna
7. WR Jared Wayne
8. LB Jackson Woodard
9. WR Josh Kelly
10. CB D’Angelo Ross
11. OL Sidy Sow
12. DB Ajani Carter
13. DB Jalen Mills
14. WR Quintez Cephus
15. DT Marlon Davidson
16. RB Jawhar Jordan
17. DB Alijah Huzzie
18. TE Layne Pryor (Injured)
19. DB K’Von Wallace
20. 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.
