Former Houston Texans cornerback Steven Nelson, who briefly retired, is making a comeback with the Kansas City Chiefs after signing to their practice squad. Nelson previously played nine NFL seasons, with his last two in Houston, where he was a captain and performed well defensively.

Off the field, he stirred controversy with comments about the Texans' management and players. The Chiefs, familiar with Nelson's talent, are looking to bolster their cornerback depth following injuries to key players.
