The Houston Texans encountered injury challenges during a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders. Wide receivers Jayden Higgins and Jared Wayne were unable to finish the session, with Higgins suffering a leg injury that left him in visible pain. Despite this, he was able to walk off the field unaided.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans did not provide an immediate update on Higgins' status, stating evaluations were still in progress. Quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed concern for Higgins, highlighting his recent strong performance and wishing him a quick recovery. Meanwhile, the status of Jared Wayne remains uncertain, with no further details available about his condition.
In the context of the Texans' wide receiver lineup, Jaylin Noel has returned to practice, while Tank Dell was absent. Dell's situation has been under scrutiny, as Ryans previously indicated optimism regarding his return for upcoming games.
The Texans are managing multiple injuries across their roster, and the latest developments with Higgins and Wayne contribute to the uncertainty as the team readies for their next preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Further updates on their conditions are expected as evaluations continue.
