Houston Texans add veteran CB Arthur Maulet to one-year deal ahead of training camp
Consider that mission accomplished entering Wednesday's start of drills.
According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Media, the Texans and veteran cornerback Arthur Maulet have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. He's expected to compete for depth reps behind All-Pro Derek Stingley Jr. and standout sophomore Kamari Lassiter.
Maulet, 32, spent the last two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, where he never started but added value on special teams. While he appeared in 14 games for the Ravens in 2023, injuries limited him to just three appearances in 2024 ahead of his release in March.
The Texans didn't face off against Maulet in the Christmas Day game after he suffered an injury earlier in the season. A former undrafted free agent from Memphis in 2017, Maulet has appeared in 85 games with 23 starts for the Saints, Colts, Jets, Steelers, and Ravens. He primarily has seen action in the slot while finding success as a blitzer.
The Texans return to practice on Wednesday.

In battle of top two juniors, Luke Colton beats Miles Russell to advance at U.S. Junior Amateur
It was a match fitting for a final, only it came two rounds earlier. Luke Colton, 18, from Frisco, Texas, and the second-ranked junior player in the country, took down top-ranked Miles Russell, 4 and 3, in Friday morning's quarterfinals of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest in Dallas. Colton collected seven birdies in 15 holes, including birdies at each of his final two to put away the 16-year-old Russell, who is also ranked No. 18 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Colton, No. 26 in WAGR, jumped on Russell early, making a long birdie putt from the fringe to win the par-3 third and go 2 up. Russell, who lipped out shots on each of his first two holes, would battle back, tying the match after six holes. After Russell drained a 30-footer for birdie at the par-4 ninth, Colton poured a 25-footer on top of him to tie the hole and turn at 1 up. He and Russell, both lefties, shot a best-ball, 6-under 30 on the front nine. To compare, the other three quarterfinals posted such marks of 33, 35 and 34. But Russell's putter would eventually cost him. He three-putted the par-3 11th from 12 feet for bogey to lose the hole and go 1 down. He later missed mid-range putts at Nos. 14 and 15 that could've extended the match. Colton now advances to Friday afternoon's semifinals, which start at 2 p.m. ET. He will face the winner of Hamilton Coleman and Sohan Patel; Coleman was 2 up through 16 holes. Texans have won eight of the last 25 U.S. Juniors with Noah Goodwin the most recent to do so, in 2017. Just two left-handers have won U.S. Junior titles – Brian Harman (2003) and Cory Whitsett (2007).

Still, the team added a future Hall of Fame wide receiver to the passing game and a versatile linebacker to the special teams, and Jaire Alexander at cornerback on the final day of minicamp. The Ravens retained Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard, and Tylan Wallace, while the restructuring of Marlon Humphrey created $13 million in salary cap space. Even with the inactivity and loss of five key contributors or starters, the team remains amid a Super Bowl window and has restocked the roster with 11 draft picks in April. The Ravens landed Malaki Starks in the first round and secured Mike Green after he slipped to Round 2.

NFL Player Wears 'Free Palestine' Cleats At Practice
NFL Player Wears 'Free Palestine' Cleats At Practice originally appeared on The Spun. Amid the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine, some NFL players are making their political convictions clear in camp. Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was wearing "Free Palestine" cleats as the team opened training camp this week. On top of having the letters done in the same color as the Palestine flag, he also had numbers for people killed in the conflict. It's the second year in a row that Al-Shaair has worn cleats like this. It's also closing in on two years since the October 7 attacks that kicked off the ongoing war. As with just about anything relating to the conflict, there have been polarizing reactions to his act of political support. Palestinian supporters are praising Al-Shaair while supporters of Israel are vehemently against him wearing them. "They called this guy a dirty player last year. I honestly never believed it, the man got heart!" one user declared. "Azeez Al-Shaair should be banned from the NFL for wearing pro-terrorist cleats," one user wrote. "Everyone should be supporting Azeez. He's the only NFL athlete speaking up for Palestine," a third wrote. "I like Azeez again," one added. Azeez Al-Shaair became a polarizing figure for his conduct on the field in 2024 as well. Last season he was fined multiple times by the league for illegal hits. One of those illegal hits came against Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He his Lawrence as the QB was sliding, causing Lawrence a concussion that knocked him out of the game and ultimately the rest of the season.
