What happened: The Houston Texans flew in former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold for a workout. His agent testified Friday that the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, and Seattle Seahawks have also inquired about the defender. Arnold became a free agent after clearing waivers on July 6.

Why it matters: The inquiries indicate that multiple franchises are evaluating the cornerback despite his ongoing legal situation in Florida. Arnold faces serious charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery, stemming from an alleged incident in February. A judge upheld a ruling allowing him to travel for work without an ankle monitor after he posted a $1 million bond.

What to watch: The Texans and other interested clubs must weigh the legal risks before extending a contract offer. Arnold remains free to travel for team visits as his criminal case progresses.
