Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports the Texans are waiving DB Ajani Carter and OLB Xavier Thomas from injured reserve.

Carter, 25, originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Houston in August of last year. He was among Kansas City’s final roster cuts and caught on with the Texans’ practice squad a month later.

Houston eventually promoted him to their active roster in November. 

In 2025, Carter appeared in two games for the Texans but did not record any stats.
