The Houston Texans worked out former first-round pick Damon Arnette Jr., who has not played in the NFL since legal problems derailed his career in 2022.

KPRC2 reported that Arnette worked out for the Texans on Monday ahead of the team’s minicamp.

The Texans are searching for secondary depth. The recent retirement of veteran cornerback Ronald Darby created uncertainty on the depth chart.

Arnette, 28, was selected No. 19 overall by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2020 draft. He played in 13 games (seven starts) before Arnette was hit with felony gun charges stemming from an incident at a Las Vegas casino in January 2022. Arnette was accused of brandishing a .45-caliber handgun during an argument with casino valets.

Arnette was sentenced to community service and fined $2,000 in August 2023 after agreeing to a plea deal.

The Raiders released Arnette in November 2021 amid two lawsuits and a troubling video posted by the defensive back. The video showed Arnette repeatedly threatening to kill someone while brandishing what appeared to be semi-automatic weapons. The Kansas City Chiefs, who had signed Arnette to a reserve contract, released him after the arrest at the casino.

Arnette most recently played for the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL, racking up 18 tackles and an interception last season.

Injuries limited Arnette to 13 games (seven starts) in his one-plus seasons with the Raiders. He didn’t record any interceptions and had 29 tackles.
