Texans' Jayden Higgins: Two grabs in Saturday's win
Higgins caught both his targets for 18 yards in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.
The Texans rested their starters, including Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, for their final exhibition contest, and Higgins made only a brief cameo on the team's first two drives before exiting. The 2025 second-round pick seems locked into the No. 3 spot on the depth chart with Tank Dell (knee) still lacking a timeline for his return, and it's a role that could result in significant volume for Higgins in a high-ceiling passing game led by C.J. Stroud.

Texans' Woody Marks: Hits paydirt in preseason finale
Marks carried the ball six times for 19 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.
The 2025 fourth-round pick made a strong final impression for the coaching staff, scoring the Texans' first TD of the afternoon on a nine-yard run early in the second quarter. With Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) uncertain for Week 1 and potentially headed for a stay on the PUP list, Marks could have a role in the offense right out of the gate behind Nick Chubb and Dameon Pierce.

Texans' Graham Mertz: Starts preseason finale
Mertz completed 14 of 16 pass attempts for 145 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over Detroit.
Mertz started the preseason finale and engineered scoring drives on Houston's first three possessions. The rookie fifth-round draft pick appears to have secured the No. 3 quarterback job ahead of Kedon Slovis, who played the second half of Saturday's game. Mertz had followed Slovis in the first two preseason contests.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Early work in preseason finale
Pierce had seven carries for 17 yards in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.
While Pierce getting work in the final preseason game might suggest the veteran is on the wrong side of a roster bubble, it's understandable given the quadriceps injury that impacted his first two weeks of camp. This was his lone preseason appearance, as Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans may have wanted to see him in game action, given the nebulous state of No. 1 back Joe Mixon, who is on the active/non-football injury list with an ankle injury and not a lock to be ready for Week 1. Mixon's health leaves Pierce and Nick Chubb as co-leaders in the backfield. Chubb made one preseason appearance last week against the Panthers, when Pierce was held out as a precaution.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: To be held out Saturday
Stroud and most other projected starters won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The list of rested players also includes RB Nick Chubb, WRs Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, and TEs Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover. They'll soon turn their attention to a Week 1 road matchup with the Rams, a team with impressive pass rushers but major questions marks in the secondary. Stroud is looking to bounce back from a sophomore slump, with the help of new offensive coordinator Nick Caley and a remade WR corps (after Collins).

Texans' Nick Chubb: Resting for preseason finale
Chubb won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions, which could suggest he's on track for a Week 1 start versus the Rams, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.
Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale are suited up for Saturday's exhibition. Assuming there's not an unreported injury at play, this is a good sign for Chubb's Week 1 role projection in the event Joe Mixon (foot) is absent or limited. Chubb made one appearance this preseason, playing with the first-string offense last week and taking five carries for 25 yards (plus one catch for four yards). Pierce, meanwhile, is set for his first appearance of the preseason after missing some time with a quadriceps injury.

Texans' Xavier Johnson: Reverts to IR
Johnson (hand) reverted to Houston's injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Johnson will stick around with Houston after going unclaimed on waivers. He suffered a broken hand at some point during training camp and will be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming season unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

Texans' Cam Robinson: Returns to practice
Robinson (leg) returned from a lower leg injury to practice Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Robinson operated with the second-team offense mostly because of the time he missed since getting hurt last week. If Robinson is ready for the season-opener, he could rejoin the first team as the starting left tackle.

Texans' Cornell Powell: Signs with Houston
The Texans signed Powell on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Powell was one of two wideouts signed by Houston on Monday, along with Juwann Winfree, after John Metchie was traded to the Eagles. The 27-year-old Powell has spent time with Kansas City and the Seahawks, and has played for the DC Defenders of the UFL. He's appeared in three career NFL games without recording a target.
