Already on the wrong side of 30, the former Chicago Bears signed with the Ravens off the streets a few weeks ago but didn't do enough to convince the franchise to carry him into the regular season.
Houston-Carson is a former sixth-round pick of the Bears and although he was waived by his former team one year after getting drafted, he rejoined the franchise later and played on one-year deals for Chicago of late.
Last season, Houston-Carson appeared in all 17 games while racking up 45 tackles (two for a loss), as well as picking one pass and forcing a fumble through the regular season.
