Texans Place Higgins on Season-Ending IR

The Houston Texans have placed wide receiver Jayden Higgins on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending his season.

Higgins, a 2025 second-round pick, injured his knee during a joint practice with the Raiders on Tuesday. The injury occurred when he landed awkwardly in the end zone during an 11-on-11 red zone drill. fish-roadgame.com

The 22-year-old started 10 games last season, recording 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns. With his season ending, the Texans' receiving corps now relies more heavily on Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel, who are also recovering from injuries.
