CB Damon Arnette, 3 years out of NFL, signs with Texans

HOUSTON -- The Texans have signed cornerback Damon Arnette to a one-year deal, the team announced Friday, as the 2020 first-round pick looks to make his return to the NFL following numerous legal issues.

Arnette most recently was in the UFL, playing for the Houston Roughnecks in 2025.

The signing comes shortly after, on June 10, a Colorado federal judge ordered Arnette to pay more than $78,000 to a dancer who said he assaulted her at a March 2023 house party. Arnette was accused of striking the woman and smashing her head into the ground.
