During a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Houston Texans encountered injury issues impacting their wide receiver group. Jayden Higgins suffered a leg injury and was seen in distress but managed to leave the field unaided. Jared Wayne also left the practice early, though his injury status remains unclear.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans has not provided an update on Higgins, stating that evaluations are ongoing. Quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed concern for Higgins, highlighting his strong recent performance and wishing him a quick recovery. Meanwhile, Jaylin Noel returned to practice, while Tank Dell's absence raised questions about his availability for upcoming games.

The Texans have been dealing with injuries across various positions this offseason, and the latest developments with Higgins and Wayne add to the challenges as they prepare for their next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Further updates on their conditions are expected as the team continues its assessments. The situation remains fluid for the Texans as they navigate their options moving forward.
