Houston cuts a homegrown cornerback depth piece behind Derek Stingley Jr. Headlines emphasize local ties and injury status, suggesting minimal impact. The waived-injured designation signals Carter couldn't stay healthy competing for roster spots. Fans view this as routine depth management rather than significant roster news. Texans continue developing Stingley as their cornerstone corner without Carter's depth contributions.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
