HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have released cornerback Aaron Colvin and signed veteran Phillip Gaines, the team announced Wednesday.
Colvin, who was signed to a four-year, $34 million contract in 2018, was given $18 million guaranteed when he was a free agent and still has $7.5 million guaranteed this year.
The cornerback struggled in the Texans' Week 1 loss to the Saints on Monday night, and was the nearest defender to Ted Ginn on the final pass of the game. Saints kicker Wil Lutz made a 58-yard field goal on the next play to win the game.
