Zion Childress: Waived by Cowboys
Childress was waived by the Cowboys on Sunday.
A hamstring injury in camp put Childress in a tough spot to make the final 53-man roster in Dallas. He is now subject to waivers and will become a free agent if he goes unclaimed. Childress did return from the hamstring issue late in camp, so he is healthy going into the season.

Cowboys' Zion Childress: Back at practice
Childress (hamstring) returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The safety suffered the injury during the first week of training camp, missed over two weeks and then came back a few days ago for non-contact drills. Childress appeared in three regular-season games for Dallas a year ago, seeing more action on special teams than defense. He's likely competing for a backup and special-teams role again in 2026.

Texans' Zion Childress: Links up with Texans
The Texans signed Childress off the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Childress failed to make the Cowboys' initial 53-man roster in late August but has since been picked up by Houston. The Kentucky product will likely play a depth role in the Texans' secondary for the remainder of the season, especially after the team parted ways with veteran C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday.

Cowboys' Zion Childress: Pushing for starting job
Childress has made a big impression in training camp and could emerge as the starting slot corner for the Cowboys, Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News reports.
An undrafted free agent rookie out of Kentucky, Childress has worked with the first-team defense in training camp, and if he's able to handle the nickel corner spot, it would allow DaRon Bland to remain on the outside. Kemon Hall, who appeared in six regular-season games for Dallas last season purely as a special-teams player, and veteran Israel Mukuamu appear to be Childress' main competition for the job.
