The Houston Texans are adjusting their plans for the 2026 NFL season after wide receiver Jayden Higgins was placed on injured reserve due to a torn ACL. Higgins was anticipated to be the team's No. 2 receiver, making his absence significant as the Texans also contend with injuries to other players, including Jaylin Noel and Tank Dell.
In light of these challenges, the Texans are reportedly considering veteran wide receivers Josh Reynolds and Zay Jones from free agency. Reynolds, who previously played for the Detroit Lions, had 40 receptions for 608 yards and five touchdowns in the 2023 season. Meanwhile, Zay Jones, formerly with the Jacksonville Jaguars, recorded 82 catches for 823 yards and five touchdowns in 2022.
As the Texans navigate their roster issues, they may depend on Xavier Hutchinson, Noel, and Dell to support star receiver Nico Collins. The team's interest in Reynolds and Jones indicates a desire for experienced players to enhance their offensive capabilities, although further details about potential signings remain unclear.
