Damon Arnette Fantasy Stats

Cornerback Damon Arnette was taken 19th overall by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 but played only 13 games over two seasons before being released in November of 2021 after brandishing a weapon and threatening someone's life in a viral video. He was later cut from the Chiefs practice squad after an arrest for assault with a deadly weapon. Since then, Arnette has turned his life around, including a stint in the UFL with the Houston Roughnecks. Arnette is now with the Texans, a team loaded with cornerback talent, so his role will be far different than it was with the Raiders when he entered the league five years ago. The 28-year-old will be competing for a spot on the roster in training camp and will need to win over a new group of coaches.

The Houston Texans are planning to sign free-agent cornerback Damon Arnette, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The former first-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Ohio State has not appeared in an NFL game since 2021 and is eyeing an NFL comeback. In just 13 career games with the Silver and Black, he posted 29 tackles and three pass deflections. Arnette spent the Spring with the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL, compiling 18 tackles, one sack, and a pick-six. The 28-year-old will likely find a tough time making the team's 53-man roster, but surprises happen, so this is an interesting story to follow.

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Damon Arnette was released Saturday after having been arrested Friday night on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. The Chiefs added the former first-round pick to the organization on a futures deal, hoping that he could contribute come the 2022 season; a zero-tolerance policy was reportedly added to the deal, which led to Arnette's release. Arnette appeared in four games this season with the Raiders before he was released after posting a threatening video on social media. Chosen with the 19th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Arnette now finds himself a free agent.

The Miami Dolphins have signed defensive back Damon Arnette to their practice squad. He was a 2020 first round selection by the Las Vegas Raiders. Although, he was cut by the organization after multiple off-field incidents. He failed to make much of an impact during his season and a half with the Raiders. Arnette did practice with Miami on Wednesday, so maybe they can turn him around. It's uncertain if he'll take the field for them this season, but appears to be quality depth, assuming he can figure things out.

The Las Vegas Raiders released former first-round cornerback Damon Arnette on Monday, according to a source. Arnette was the team's 19th overall pick in the first round of the 2020 draft. Just a year later, the Raiders no longer have either of their first-round selections from 2020 (Arnette and wide receiver Henry Ruggs III) on their roster. Arnette, 25, landed on Injured Reserve after suffering a groin injury against the Los Angeles Chargers. In 13 games (seven starts) for the Raiders, he had only 29 tackles (23 solo) and three passes defensed. It's safe to say the Raiders 2020 draft will go down as a colossal disaster. Of their first four picks in that draft, only receiver Bryan Edwards is on the current roster.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive backs Damon Arnette (groin) and Trayvon Mullen (foot) have been ruled out on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers after getting injured during the game. Mullen came into this game as the starter opposite Casey Hayward and has been playing really well to begin the year. Arnette, who was a first-round pick last year, came in to replace Mullen on the outside. So the Raiders will have to move to Amik Robertson, a fourth-round pick in 2020, into the starting lineup in the second half. The Raiders are currently mounting a combeback, but Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is likely to attack that side of the field at some point. The injuries to Vegas' secondary are certainly something to watch after this game as well.

The Las Vegas Raiders are placing rookie cornerback Damon Arnette on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. No other Raiders players or personnel have tested positive, and Maurice Hurst, the lone player previously on the COVID-19 list, has been cleared to return to practice this week. Arnette, a first-round pick, was already on Injured Reserve after he had thumb surgery. The 24-year-old is expected to miss six to eight weeks after having surgery when he aggravated his thumb ailment in the Week 3 loss to the Patriots. Lamarcus Joyner should continue to see an expanded role in the secondary with Arnette out.

Per his Instagram account, Las Vegas Raiders first-round rookie cornerback Damon Arnette (thumb) underwent surgery on his thumb on Thursday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Arnette should be out for six to eight weeks. The rookie corner suffered the injury in the Week 3 loss to the Patriots after also fracturing the same thumb in training camp. There's still a chance that Arnette can return this season, but it will depend on how his recovery goes. The 24-year-old is a bright spot for Las Vegas' secondary, so his absence will be felt. Arnette had a combined 13 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed in his three games before aggravating his thumb injury. The Raiders defense should continue to be ignored in fantasy for their Week 4 matchup with the Bills.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie cornerback Damon Arnette (thumb) is visiting a thumb specialist on Tuesday after he injured it in the Week 3 loss to the Patriots, and he could be sidelined up to six weeks. In a worst-case scenario, Arnette would be placed on Injured Reserve. The first-round pick fractured the same thumb in training camp, so this is certainly something to watch moving forward. Either way, Arnette should be able to return this year for the Raiders secondary. The 24-year-old has been improving and has tallied 14 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed in the first three games of his NFL career.

Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette has excelled so much during training camp that the organization felt confident moving on from veteran Prince Amukamara. But as of Wednesday, it was revealed that Arnette is dealing with a fractured thumb, which has him in a soft cast with 11 days until the teams season opener. Should Arnette be forced to miss time, Lamarcus Joyner would presumably fill his spot, although there has been no indication that the Raiders would be without their first-round pick when they take on the Panthers. The Las Vegas defense already sat on the periphery of season-long drafts, with Arnettes malady only further complicating its status.
