Desmond King II is signing with Houston's practice squad on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

The Texans placed Jeff Okudah (hip) on injured reserve on Tuesday, and they are bringing in King as a result to try and secure the depth in their secondary. The veteran has had a long and successful career, so the team is hopeful that he can contribute well as a depth piece.

The Houston Texans released DB Desmond King II.

Fantasy Impact

King was one of a few bigger name defensive backs released ahead of Tuesday's deadline. He could draw interest from another team as a free agent.

The Steelers have informed CB Desmond King that he will either be released or traded.

Fantasy Impact

King has yet to log any stats for the Steelers this season. The 28-year-old veteran could find himself on a new team in need of cornerback depth via a trade in the coming days. The move will not have any impact on the Steelers D/ST moving forward.

Desmond King is officially inactive for Week 2 vs. Cleveland.

Fantasy Impact

King will miss Week 2 and will have to wait another week to make an impact for the Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed CB Desmond King II to their active roster.

Fantasy Impact

King was a cut by the Texans Tuesday in a surprising move. The former fifth-round pick tallied 59 tackles, two fumble recoveries, and two interceptions in 17 games with Houston in 2022.
