Cornell Powell News: Cut by Houston

Written by RotoWire Staff

Published on August 26, 2025

The Texans waived Powell on Tuesday.

After being drafted by Kansas City in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Powell has had a hard time finding opportunities in the league, as he's played in only three regular-season games (all in 2022). The Clemson product won't make Houston's initial 53-man roster despite shining in his lone preseason contest with the club, catching six of seven targets for 63 yards Saturday versus Detroit.
