Texans' Damon Arnette: Attempting comeback with Texans
Rotowire
Arnette signed a one-year contract with Houston on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Arnette has had a tumultuous NFL career since being selected by the Raiders in the first round of the 2020 Draft, with his last regular-season appearance having been back in 2021. He served a three-game suspension as a free agent in 2023. Most recently, Arnette played for the Houston Roughnecks in the last season of the UFL. In the wake of Ronald Darby's retirement, Arnette may be facing a real chance to compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Damon Arnette: Gets three-game suspension
Rotowire
The NFL handed Arnette a three-game suspension Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports
Arnette's suspension is presumably the result of a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy, stemming from his indictment this past May for assault with a deadly weapon and other firearms-related charges. A 2020 first-round pick, Arnette appeared in 13 games for Las Vegas over two seasons before being released in November 2021. He's since had stints with the Dolphins and Chiefs but hasn't appeared in an NFL game since being cut loose by Las Vegas.
