Higgins could be in line for more playing time in Monday's game at Seattle with Christian Kirk (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Higgins' playing time was already on the rise, with the rookie second-round pick logging a season-high 39 snaps (56 percent) in a Week 5 win over Baltimore before the Texans went on bye for Week 6. The added snaps versus the Ravens didn't lead to a touchdown, but Higgins notched season highs in targets (four), and catches (four) and matched his season high in yards (32). With Kirk unavailable, Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel could all see more involvement in the passing game behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins.
