James II

James fell down on Jordy Nelson’s touchdown catch in Sunday’s loss to Green Bay, and this was the fallout. With that said, James hadn’t played well all year and wasn’t getting much defensive run to begin with. The Texans replaced James on the 53 with Al-Hajj Shabazz, who was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh.

A Hard Knocks star, James was in the mix for one of the final corner spots. The Texans reportedly shopped James before releasing him, but didn’t find any takers. A two-way player, 25-year-old James could resurface with another team.

The Ravens needed to add a cornerback with Will Davis (torn ACL) out for the season. James was among the Texans’ final cuts during training camp.
