The Houston Texans released cornerback Aaron Colvin on Tuesday, according to reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The release comes one day after Colvin started in the Texans' 30-28 defeat to the New Orleans Saints.
He was the nearest defender on a nine-yard reception to Saints wideout Ted Ginn Jr. on New Orleans' final play from scrimmage before a Wil Lutz 58-yard field goal sealed the win.
Per Over the Cap, Colvin's $7.5 million base salary is guaranteed for this season.
