Jordan (knee) agreed to a deal with the Texans on Tuesday.
Jordan was recently cut by the Texans, though he will be brought back and added to the 53-man roster. The 26-year-old was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, appearing in 36 regular-season games and amassing 53 receptions for 532 yards and five touchdowns. Jordan has battled knee issues over the last few years, limiting his availability, though general manager Nick Caserio, as relayed by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, indicated he could return to practice next week.

Brevin Jordan: Let go by Houston
Rotowire
The Texans cut Jordan (knee) on Sunday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jordan suffered a knee injury in early August that prevented the tight end from participating in any preseason games or activities. The tight end's injury is likely one of the main reasons he was unable to make the Texans' initial 53-man roster. Jordan is now a free agent and will be able to sign with any team's 53-man roster or practice squad as soon as he regains his health.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Sidelined at practice
Rotowire
Jordan (knee) did not participate at Monday's training camp practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan suffered a knee injury in early August, and he isn't quite back to full health yet. The tight end hasn't appeared in a contest yet this preseason, and it's possible that the knee injury will force him to miss Houston's preseason finale against the Panthers on Friday.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Tending to knee issue
Rotowire
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Jordan (knee) is day-to-day, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
There doesn't seem to be reason to believe it's a severe injury at this point, but it brings Jordan's availability for Thursday's preseason game versus the Chargers into question. Until he's back, rookie second-rounder Marlin Klein could see an uptick in reps.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Nursing minor injury
Rotowire
Jordan was held out of Friday's training-camp practice due to a minor, undisclosed injury, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The nature of Jordan's injury hasn't been announced by the Texans, but it could be related to the torn patellar tendon injury that he sustained during training camp in August of 2025. The decision to keep him out of Friday's practice was a precautionary measure and should not impact his availability ahead of the Texans' preseason opener against the Chargers this Thursday.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Ready for the season
Rotowire
Jordan is past his torn patellar tendon injury and is ready to produce in 2026, Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated reports.
Jordan's run-blocking value and offensive upside make him a likely candidate for the No. 2 tight end spot behind Dalton Schultz. Before the 2021 fifth-round pick tore his patellar tendon, Jordan had accumulated 53 receptions for 532 yards and five touchdowns over 36 career regular-season games.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Placed on season-ending IR
Rotowire
The Texans (knee) announced Tuesday that Jordan (knee) will be placed on IR, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jordan, who had worked his way back from an ACL tear suffered in Week 2 of 2024 before being carted off the field Monday, appears to have suffered a second consecutive season-ending knee injury. It's a brutal development for the 2021 fifth-round pick, who had appeared positioned to fill a key role at tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz this season. Cade Stover and Irv Smith are now likely to have expanded roles behind Schultz.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Suffers knee injury at practice
Rotowire
Jordan (knee) was carted off the practice field Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan appears to have potentially suffered a significant injury at practice Monday, though the Texans haven't yet provided an official update on his health. The tight end entered training camp as a full participant after having suffered a season-ending ACL tear Week 2 of the 2024 campaign, and he's been competing with Cade Stover and Irv Smith for reserve duties behind incumbent starting tight end Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Full go in practice
Rotowire
Jordan (knee) is practicing in full during the Texans' training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The tight end tore his ACL in Week 2 of the 2024 campaign, but he has been practicing since the start of training camp last week. Jordan played on roughly 50 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 last year, mostly in a blocking role, and he landed a one-year extension in December. The fifth-year pro appears in line to reprise his role from the beginning of last season, with Dalton Schultz as the top tight end on the Houston depth chart.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Progressing in ACL recovery
Rotowire
Jordan (knee) is running at "high speeds" but is expected to be eased back in at training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 last season and missed the remainder of the year. Now 10 months out from the injury, Jordan should be close to 100 percent health by the time Week 1 rolls around. Jordan figures to be in line to handle TE2 duties in Houston behind Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Texans placed Jordan on injured reserve Wednesday due to a knee injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan will thus miss at least four games with the injury, which he likely sustained in this past Sunday's win over the Bears. Through the first two weeks of the season, Jordan had been serving as the top backup to starting tight end Dalton Schultz as well as an occasional lead blocker at fullback, logging two catches for seven yards on three targets. His absence for at least the next four games could free up more snaps for depth tight end Cade Stover.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: One target in win
Rotowire
Jordan caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears in Week 2.
For a second consecutive week, there wasn't much happening for Jordan, who has just three targets (two catches) for seven yards thus far. The tight end group is seeing fewer targets overall than in 2023. Houston's tight ends accounted for nearly 21 percent of the team's targets last season compared to 15 percent through the first two weeks of 2024.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Healthy snap volume
Rotowire
Jordan caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1.
Jordan was allotted a healthy 40 snaps in the season opener, which matches his snap count for the first five games of 2023. There are too many preferred targets ahead of him, including starting tight end Dalton Schultz, for Jordan's increased run to make a difference at this time. It does, however, indicate a certain level of confidence from the coaching staff. Jordan is looking to build off last season's second half and playoff experience, when he caught 12 of 16 targets for 19.6 yards per reception and two touchdowns over eight games.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Out against Steelers
Rotowire
Jordan (undisclosed) is slated to miss Houston's Week 1 preseason game against the Steelers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan had been deemed healthy so far during training camp, but an undisclosed injury will take him out of Houston's preseason opener. The 6-foot-3 tight end finished out the 2023 season with 17 grabs for 219 yards and two touchdowns, and more information on his preseason injury should be released in the coming days.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Looking sharp this spring
Rotowire
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Jordan has improved and regularly makes highlight plays, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan nonetheless finds himself in a tough position for the final year of his rookie contract, as the Texans re-signed starting tight end Dalton Schultz in March and drafted Cade Stover in the fourth round. They also have two fullbacks on the offseason roster and one of the best WR groups in the league, making it tough for Jordan to get on the field regularly as a second tight end. The 2021 fifth-round pick did well with his limited chances last year, catching 17 of 21 targets for 219 yards and two touchdowns, but there's not really a path to role growth without Schultz suffering an injury.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Targeted once in playoff loss
Rotowire
Jordan failed to catch his lone target in Houston's 34-10 playoff loss to Baltimore last Saturday. He finished the regular season with 17 receptions on 21 targets for 219 yards and two touchdowns over 14 games.
A gifted athlete at tight end, Jordan has never excelled at the blocking responsibilities of the position, which has put a cap on his playing time over his three seasons in Houston. He opened the year third on the depth chart, before he was elevated when Teagan Quitoriano suffered a season-ending groin injury in October. Jordan can make plays, as evidenced by his 76-yard touchdown catch-and-run during a wild-card win over Cleveland, but there's unlikely to be much change in his usage in 2024, the final year of his rookie contract. This season's starting tight end, Dalton Schultz, becomes an unrestricted free agent, but the Texans likely want him back after a year in which he developed chemistry with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Jordan (illness) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Jordan increased his practice activity Thursday, after he sat out Wednesday's session entirely while recovering from the illness. If Jordan is able to participate fully in Friday's session, he should be in the clear to serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Schultz in Sunday's game against the Browns.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Sits out practice with illness
Rotowire
Jordan didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.
Jordan still has two more chances to get back on the practice field and potentially clear up concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns. Assuming Jordan recovers in time to suit up this weekend, he should remain the team's No. 2 option at tight end behind Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Reduced role in Schultz return
Rotowire
Jordan caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over Tennessee.
Jordan's increased role the last two weeks ended with the return of Dalton Schultz from a hamstring injury. Jordan entered the game having played 75 percent of the offensive snaps the previous two weeks but was back to a normal 25 percent share against Tennessee.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Set to fill in for Schultz again
Rotowire
Jordan is expected to draw another start at tight end Sunday against the Jets with Dalton Schultz (hamstring) ruled out for a second consecutive game, Tyler Greenawalt of USA Today reports.
Jordan produced a season-high 64 receiving yards in last week's win over the Broncos, and with Schultz ruled out again, the third-year tight end will have a nice opportunity to build on that performance against the Jets. The Jets enter Week 14 tied with New Orleans for the most touchdowns allowed to tight ends this season (seven).
