Published August 21, 2026 · Updated August 21, 2026 · NBC Sports

The Texans placed wide receiver Jayden Higgins on injured reserve Friday with a torn ACL, ending his sophomore season before it began.

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 a red zone drill. hilogame.news

The 2024 starter, who recorded 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns last season, was expected to start opposite Nico Collins this year. His absence elevates the importance of Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell, and Jaylin Noel to the Texans' offense.
