Grade Houston Texans release DB Ajani Carter
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Texans cut Carter with injury designation, a questionable decision on a homegrown prospect. Multiple sources confirm successful knee scope with expected season return, suggesting premature roster move. The injury-related waiver indicates Houston couldn't stash him on injured reserve for cap reasons. Fans see this as heartbreaking mismanagement of a developing defensive back prospect. Houston must address cornerback depth urgently through waiver claims or camp acquisitions.
