Texans Place WR Higgins on Season-Ending IR

Higgins, a 2025 second-round pick, suffered the injury during a joint practice with the Raiders on Tuesday when he landed awkwardly in the end zone during an 11-on-11 red zone drill. He started 10 games and had 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns during his rookie season. toffler.lol

With Higgins out, Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel will become more important to the Texans' offense. Dell and Noel continue to recover from their own injuries, making the receiving corps situation particularly challenging for Houston this season.
