Arnette (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup versus Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
Arnette appears to have suffered the injury at some point during practice, as he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday before popping up as a non-participant Friday. The veteran cornerback has worked almost exclusively on special teams in the two games he's been active for this season.

The Texans signed Arnette to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Arnette had previously been elevated for one game, during which he recorded two solo tackles while seeing most of his playing time on special teams. However, the 2020 first-round pick could see increased action Sunday versus the Jaguars, as Jaylin Smith (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.

Arnette was released by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cornerback signed with Houston in June and picked off a pass in the preseason, but it wasn't enough to help him stick on the Texans' 53-man roster. Arnette was a first-round pick of the Raiders in 2020, but he has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game since 2021. He has 29 career tackles (23 solo) and three pass breakups.

Arnette signed a one-year contract with Houston on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Arnette had his three-game suspension by the NFL on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arnette opened the season unavailable for three games after violating the league's personal conduct policy, but he will now be able to return to action. The cornerback is a free agent and he last appeared in an NFL contest in 2021. That season he played in four games with the Raiders, recording four tackles and a pass deflection.

Arnette was suspended by the NFL on Tuesday for the first three weeks of the season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports
EDGE Analysis
Arnette appeared in 13 games for Las Vegas over two years but was waived after an incriminating video of him surfaced. He was briefly signed to Kansas City's practice squad this past January before getting arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon as well. The 2020 first-round pick's suspension will make it even harder for him to find a team ahead of the coming season.

The Chiefs signed Arnette to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arnette joined the Dolphins practice squad in mid-December after being waived by the Raiders in early November, but he failed to appear in any games with the team before the end of the season. The former first-round pick will now join the Chiefs for the 2022 campaign while still looking to secure his first career interception.
