Texans' Jayden Higgins: Sent to injured reserve
The Texans placed Higgins (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
It officially ends Higgins' 2026 season before it even got started after he suffered a torn ACL in practice earlier this week. It's a huge blow to the Houston offense, as Higgins was fully expected to handle WR2 duties opposite Nico Collins this season. The Texans will now turn to some combination of Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel (hamstring/finger) and Tank Dell (knee), though they've also checked in on available wideouts around the league, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Higgins will rehab throughout the season and should be ready well ahead of Week 1 of the 2027 campaign.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Suffers torn ACL at practice
Higgins was diagnosed Wednesday with an ACL tear, which would rule him out for the 2026 season, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
We'll await confirmation from the team, but after early reports suggested a minor injury, it appears to be just the opposite, leaving Houston shorthanded at wide receiver a few weeks before the start of the regular season. Higgins seemingly was locked in for the No. 2 role, which could now be up for grabs between Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel (hamstring) and Tank Dell (knee). Fantasy interest in Noel and Dell figures to increase significantly now that Higgins is on track to be out of the picture until 2027.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Dealing with leg injury, should be OK
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud said, "I think he'll be fine" after Higgins appeared to suffer a leg injury in Tuesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
That's more context than was offered by coach DeMeco Ryans, who didn't provide an immediate update on the wideout's status. While Stroud's comment regarding one of his key targets is encouraging, Higgins' availability will remain up in the air until the team offers a clearer picture of his health. Higgins is unlikely to see action in Thursday's preseason contest against the Raiders.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Exits practice with potential injury
Higgins needed help getting to his feet after he was shaken up during Tuesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
On the plus side, the wideout walked off on his own power. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Higgins subsequently headed off the field to get checked out by team medical personnel. Afterward, coach DeMeco Ryans noted that he didn't have an immediate update on his status, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Consider Higgins day-to-day as Thursday's preseason contest against the Raiders approaches.
