The Texans lost to the Packers 21-13 in Green Bay on Sunday and one of the biggest plays for the Packers came when Aaron Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Nelson was wide open on the play because cornerback Charles James slipped on the snowy Lambeau Field turf. James had gone shirtless during pregame warmups, but the elements proved too much for him on that play.
It turned out to be one of his final ones with the Texans. The Texans waived James on Monday, ending a run with the team that started in 2015. James played in all 12 games for Houston this season and had 18 tackles.
The Texans claimed cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz, who was waived by the Steelers over the weekend after seeing action in five games for Pittsburgh earlier this season.
