Texans' Harrison Bryant: Normal role expected Week 9
Rotowire
Bryant is expected to be the backup tight end in Sunday's game against the Broncos, as starter Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) logged a full practice Friday, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Even after Schultz sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday, Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans remained confident his starting tight end would get on the field before Sunday's game. Schultz is listed as questionable but is expected to play, which means Bryant should remain the backup.

Texans' Harrison Bryant: Waiting on starter's health
Rotowire
Bryant remained the lone healthy tight end on the active roster Thursday, when starter Dalton Schultz (knee/shoulder) missed a second straight practice, Aaron Wilson of the KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Although Schultz missed the first two practices in preparation for Week 9 against the Broncos, head coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that he expects the starting tight end to return later this week. If Schultz isn't available to play Sunday, Bryant would step in as the starter. In that event, he may not be a big part of the passing game plan, as it looks like Houston will be welcoming back wide receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom logged full practices Thursday.

Texans' Harrison Bryant: Lone healthy TE on roster
Rotowire
Bryant is the lone healthy tight end on the 53-man roster after Houston announced that Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Schultz's injury coupled with the health of wide receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) -- both of whom were limited participants Wednesday -- raises Bryant's profile leading up to Week 9's home game against Denver. Of course, there's still time for Schultz to get on the practice field, and he didn't appear to be hurt last week, when he played to the final snap in Week 8's win over San Francisco. Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans didn't sound too concerned, indicating that he expects to get Schultz back as the week goes on. Bryant has one reception on four targets for five yards while playing 26 percent of the offensive snaps in the six games he's played this season.

Texans' Harrison Bryant: Held catchless in Week 8
Rotowire
Bryant failed to haul in his lone target while playing 22 of the Texans' 80 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.
Though he's logged double-digit snaps in each of the Texans' ensuing six games since Cade Stover suffered a broken foot in the season-opening loss to the Rams, Bryant remains well behind starting tight end Dalton Schultz in terms of both usage and playing time. Through his six appearances, Bryant has been targeted just four times and has recorded a five-yard reception.

Texans' Harrison Bryant: Untargeted in Week 3
Rotowire
Bryant was not targeted over 17 snaps in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.
Bryant is operating as the backup tight end to Dalton Schultz following injuries to Brevin Jordan (knee), Irv Smith (ankle) and Cade Stover (foot). Of the three injured players, only Stover is expected to play again in 2025, which means, at a minimum, Bryant will get consistent playing time for the next two weeks. He has zero catches on one target through two games, however.

Rotowire
Houston signed Bryant from its practice squad to its active roster Wednesday.

Harrison Bryant: Sticking with Texans
Rotowire
Houston signed Bryant to its practice squad Thursday.
Bryant was a casualty of cutdown day Tuesday, but he's sticking with Houston after the team acquired him in a trade with the Eagles on Aug. 17. Bryant has substantial NFL experience, playing in 78 regular-season games across five NFL campaigns. The Texans have just two healthy tight ends (Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover) on their 53-man roster, so Bryant is in good position to be elevated early in the campaign.

Harrison Bryant: Released by Texans
Rotowire
The Texans released Bryant on Tuesday.
Bryant played 13 games with the Raiders last season and posted nine catches (12 targets) for 86 yards. He signed with the Eagles in March and was subsequently traded to the Texans on Aug. 17 in a deal that had John Metchie going the other way. However, Bryant couldn't carve out a role, so the Texans' initial 53-man roster will feature tight ends Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Bryant started the Raiders' week of practice with a DNP but followed that up with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting that he could be trending toward playing in Sunday's divisional matchup. The first-year Raider has caught nine of his 12 targets for 86 yards through eight appearances this season. If Bryant is sidelined for the second consecutive game in Week 12, Justin Shorter is likely to serve as the Raiders' No. 3 tight end.

Bryant (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Bryant was sidelined for the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins due to an ankle injury, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. He likely needs to get back on the field in a limited capacity either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Las Vegas' Week 12 matchup against the Broncos. If Bryant is unable to do so, expect Justin Shorter to serve as the Raiders' No. 3 tight end.

Bryant was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, but his ankle injury was serious enough to prevent him from seeing the field Friday, and the 2020 fourth-round pick will be sidelined Sunday for the second time this season.

Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Able to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Bryant (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bryant suffered an ankle injury in Week 9 against the Bengals, and even with the Raiders coming off a Week 10 bye, the issue kept him off the practice field Wednesday. His ability to return Thursday indicates he's progressing through the issue, and if he can practice Friday, he'll give himself a shot at playing against Miami on Sunday. Over his last three games, Bryant has logged seven catches (on nine targets) for 65 yards.

Bryant (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
It appears Bryant is still dealing with the ankle injury sustained in the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Bengals, despite having a Week 10 bye. The 26-year-old tight end likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to take the field in Week 11, when the Raiders face the Dolphins. If he's unable to do so, expect Justin Shorter to serve as Las Vegas' No. 2 tight end Sunday.
