The Houston Texans enter their bye week with an 8-5 record through 13 games, holding a two-game lead in the AFC South. As they gear up for the latter half of their season, their primary focus will be staying healthy, as injuries have plagued the team throughout the year.
Meanwhile, other NFL teams are strategizing for a strong finish, each with their own unique challenges. The Kansas City Chiefs, currently dominating the AFC with an 11-1 record, face a growing concern in their secondary, with a lack of depth at the cornerback position.
In response, the Chiefs recently worked out former Texans cornerback Steven Nelson, as reported by Ian Rapoport. Nelson, who played the last two seasons in Houston, could be on the verge of reuniting with Kansas City.
“Veteran starting CB Steven Nelson is expected to visit the Chiefs on Monday for a potential reunion and stretch run with a top contender,” Rapoport revealed.
Nelson began his NFL career with the Chiefs, spending four seasons with the team and starting in 38 of his 52 appearances. After his tenure in Kansas City, he had stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers before joining the Texans, where he started 31 games. Over his time in Houston, Nelson recorded 63 tackles, five interceptions, and 19 passes defended.
At 31 years old, Nelson’s experience and playmaking abilities could provide a much-needed boost to the Chiefs’ secondary as they prepare for a deep playoff run.
