Speed was waived by the Texans on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year pro from Michigan State appeared in just two games this season prior to being waived, recording two total tackles across 39 special-teams snaps. Now a free agent, Speed could be picked up by a team in need of secondary depth in the near future.

Speed was signed to the Texans' active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Speed, who was on the team's practice squad, will be on the 53-man roster heading into the Week 14 road game against the Chiefs. He'll provide depth in the secondary, which took hit when starting safety Jaylen Reed (forearm) was removed from Sunday's win over the Colts. The Texans haven't revealed how they plan to replace Reed, but there are several in-house options. Speed, a sixth-round draft pick of New England in 2023, has played mostly on special teams during his time in the NFL and has 10 tackles over three seasons.

The Texans signed Speed to their practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year corner from Michigan State was dropped by the Browns in early October, but it now appears he's found a new home in Houston. Speed's last in-game action came with the Bears in 2024, when he appeared in two contests and failed to record a stat across 17 total snaps (14 on special teams, three on defense).

Tampa Bay worked out Speed (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers are evidently exploring adding some organizational depth at cornerback, possibly because veteran Jamel Dean is dealing with a hip flexor strain. Speed, who now appears to be fully healthy again, last saw regular-season action in 2024, when he suited up for two games with the Bears.

Speed (undisclosed) was cut after reaching an injury settlement with the Browns on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Speed was placed on Cleveland's practice squad injured list Tuesday with an undisclosed injury, but he will now be free to pass a physical and sign elsewhere this season. The cornerback hasn't appeared in a regular-season game this year, and he'll look to get a shot with a new squad.

The Browns placed Speed (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Speed suffered the injury as he has not appeared in a single regular-season game in 2025. Nevertheless, he'll be required to miss the Browns' next four games at a minimum, which makes Week 10 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 9 the earliest he would be eligible to play.

Speed (undisclosed) worked out for the Falcons on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Speed was waived by the Bears with an injury designation last month and was eventually let go from injured reserve. He's evidently healthy enough to work out for teams and is looking for his next opportunity after appearing in two regular-season games for Chicago last season.

The Bears waived Speed (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear what type of issue Speed is dealing with, but he had reverted to injured reserve last week after clearing waivers. Because he and Chicago worked out an injury settlement, Speed will be able to play in 2025 if he returns to health and finds work with another club.

Speed (undisclosed) reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Speed will move to Chicago's IR after going unclaimed off waivers, which means he'll be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Bears. Speed appeared in two regular-season games for the Bears in 2024 and logged 17 snaps (three on defense, 14 on special teams) over two games without otherwise showing up on the box score.

Speed (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Bears on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Speed appears to have picked up a significant injury at some point in the last week. If he clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve with Chicago.
