DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans are not done working through some of the depth options on their roster and have decided to move on from two players on Wednesday, one each behind stars Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr.
Ajani Carter and Xavier Thomas will hit waivers for the next 24 hours.
After that, though, their situations will take another turn before the Texans will likely face another set of decisions.
Texans Cut Ties With Ajani Carter, Xavier Thomas
GettyDeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans thinned their roster on Wednesday.
“The #Texans have waived DB Ajani Carter and DE Xavier Thomas, per the team,” The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander reported in a post on X on July 1.
“Carter and Thomas had been on the reserve/injured list.”
Both Carter and Thomas are coming off their first seasons on the Texans’ roster. Carter was an undrafted free agent out of Houston. He saw the field in two games during the 2025 regular season, playing exclusively on special teams.
Thomas was a fifth-round pick, taken 138th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 draft, who did not see the field for Houston after joining the club during the 2025 campaign.
