Episode Details

Houston’s 2026 season just got a major setback as starting wide receiver Jayden Higgins tore his ACL during joint practice with the Raiders, sidelining him for the entire year. With Higgins out, the deep threat role now falls to third-round rookie Jaylin Noel, while Tank Dell remains sidelined in recovery. The Texans’ offense, already inconsistent last year despite a strong defense, now faces mounting pressure to adapt quickly without their top target. Higgins’ 2025 performance—41 catches, 525 yards, 6 TDs—was vital, and replacing him will be a huge challenge as C.J. Stroud seeks reliable weapons.
