    Nelson agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract with the Texans on Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Nelson officially links up with Houston one day after visiting with the team. The veteran cornerback started in all 16 of his appearances with the Eagles in 2021, compiling 50 tackles (34 solo), seven pass breakups and one interception. He could be in the mix to open Week 1 as a starter on the perimeter.

    Analysis: Nelson spent 2021 with the Eagles, starting all 16 games he appeared in. The seven-year veteran recorded 50 tackles (34 solo), seven passes defensed and one interception on the year. After also spending time with the Chiefs and Steelers in his career, Nelson still is searching for his fourth home for the 2022 season.

  • Gets night off

    Nelson (coach's decision) is inactive Saturday against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Nelson will get the night off along with Darius Slay at the corner position. With Avonte Maddox also out due to COVID, the Eagles will be deploying their depth in the secondary against the Cowboys.

  • Back in action

    Nelson (hand) has returned to Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Nelson had a hand issue earlier in the contest and was initially considered questionable to return, but he has since been able to get back into the game. He'll resume his regular role in the Eagles' secondary.

  • Questionable to return

    Nelson (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Nelson suffered the injury, but his ability to return to Sunday's contest is uncertain. He hadn't recorded any stats prior to his departure with the hand issue.

  • Listed as full participant

    Nelson (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

    Analysis: Although Nelson sustained a shoulder injury in the first half of Sunday's win over the Jets, it doesn't appear as though he'll be limited by the issue ahead of Week 15. Across his last five appearances, the 2015 third-rounder has recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that Nelson's shoulder injury isn't a serious concern, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Nelson suffered the shoulder injury during the first half of Sunday's win over the Jets and wasn't able to return, but it appears to be a minor issue. The 28-year-old will have the bye week to aid in his recovery before Philadelphia retakes the field Dec. 19 versus Washington.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Nelson (shoulder) will not return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Nelson exited with the shoulder issue in the first half and spent time in the medical tent. He's been ruled out since, though the exact nature of his injury remains unclear. Positively, Nelson will have the team's upcoming bye in Week 14 to rest before attempting to return for a Week 15 matchup against Washington.

  • Dealing with shoulder injury

    Nelson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Nelson was spotted in the medical tent after suffering the injury, but he has since returned to the bench, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Prior to the injury, Nelson had not recorded any stats.

  • Links up with Philly

    Nelson signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Eagles on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old was cut by the Steelers in late March, and he was able to latch on with a new team right before the start of training camp. Nelson started all 15 games for Pittsburgh last season and should compete for a starting spot with Avonte Maddox opposite top cornerback Darius Slay in Philadelphia.

  • Cut by Steelers

    The Steelers released Nelson on Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Steelers gave Nelson permission to seek a trade last week. With no luck, the team let him go with one year left on his contract. This move clears up $8.25 million in cap space for the Steelers. Nelson started in all 15 of his appearances last season, allowing a 97.0 passer rating and seven touchdowns when targeted. There should be multiple teams interested in his services for the 2021 season.

  • Given OK to seek trade

    The Steelers have given Nelson permission to seek a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Nelson is considered one of the league's more reliable cornerbacks, and the 28-year-old is coming off three consecutive years with at least 15 appearances, so he's also been durable. He'll carry an $8.25 million base salary for 2021, the final season of his three-year deal. Of course, if Nelson does get traded, his next team could work out an extension or contract restructure.

  • Takes full practice reps

    Nelson (knee) returned to full participation in practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Having improved from limited involvement during Wednesday's practice session, the 27-year-old cornerback is seemingly in the clear for his 16th appearance of the season Sunday night versus Cleveland. Nelson has recorded two interceptions and nine pass breakups for the Steelers this season. However, the seven touchdown passes he's surrendered in coverage are more than the five combined TDs he allowed between 2018 and 2019 over 189 targets.

  • Limited to start week

    Nelson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson has dealt with some knee issues this season, but he'll likely do everything in his power to be available for Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the Browns. Barring a setback in practice this week, the starting cornerback should be able to play, as he hasn't missed any game action since sitting out Week 13.

  • Returns to full practice

    Nelson (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson missed Monday's loss to Washington with a knee injury but has apparently healed up since. His full participation Wednesday puts him on pace to suit up Sunday in Buffalo.

  • Sitting out Monday

    Nelson (knee) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Football Team.

    Analysis: Cameron Sutton and Mike Hilton should both see more work at cornerback against Alex Smith on Monday. Nelson didn't practice at all during the week, so his status is in question for next week's matchup against the Bills as well.

    Published: Mon, Dec 7 at 12:49pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Listed as doubtful

    Nelson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against Washington.

    Analysis: Nelson has not practiced all week so it seems like all signs are pointing to the safety being unavailable for the prime-time battle. Cameron Sutton and Mike Hilton likely will see a bump in their respective snap counts if Nelson is eventually ruled inactive.

  • Set for MRI

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Nelson is set to undergo an MRI on his knee, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Nelson finished Wednesday's game playing 89 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but it appears the team wants to be cautious with the injury. The Oregon State product has been strong this campaign, racking up 31 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions across 11 games. It will be a quick turnaround for Nelson and the Steelers, as the next game is scheduled for Monday against Washington. Therefore, it's unclear if Nelson will be ready for Week 13.

  • Solid first season in Pittsburgh

    Nelson totaled four tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Signed in March, Nelson added stability to the Pittsburgh secondary and finished the 2019 season with 61 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery in 15 games played. With two years remaining on his current contract, Nelson will return as the starting right cornerback for the Steelers in 2020.

  • Practices in full

    Nelson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Nelson didn't practice Wednesday, but he now appears to have returned to full health. Barring any setbacks, Nelson can be considered on track for Sunday's must-win tilt in Baltimore.

  • Absent from practice Wednesday

    Nelson (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Nelson saw 58 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Jets, so the severity of the injury is unknown. If he is unable to return to practice before the end of the week, Mike Hilton and Cameron Sutton could be looking at more playing time Week 17.

  • First interception in loss

    Nelsonhad six tackles (all solo) and an interception in Pittsburgh's 17-10 loss to Buffalo on Sunday night.

    Analysis: With the Steelers trailing 7-3 late in the second quarter, Nelson picked off quarterback Josh Allen, but Pittsburgh was unable to turn it into points and ultimately saw a six-game win streak against Buffalo snapped. It was Nelson's first interception this season and fifth of his career. The Steelers face Sam Darnold and the Jets in Week 16.
