During a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Houston Texans faced injury issues as wide receiver Jayden Higgins was hurt. Reports indicate that Higgins suffered a leg injury and was seen in visible pain, although he was able to leave the field on his own.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans did not provide an immediate update on Higgins' status, mentioning that evaluations were still in progress. Quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed concern for Higgins, highlighting his impressive performance in recent practices and hoping for a quick recovery.
The injury status of fellow wide receiver Jared Wayne remains uncertain, with no additional information available regarding his condition. Wayne has shown promise during training camp, making his situation noteworthy.
In the Texans' wide receiver group, Jaylin Noel has returned to practice, while Tank Dell did not participate. Dell's absence comes amid discussions about his potential involvement in future games, with Ryans previously optimistic about his return.
The Texans have been dealing with injuries across multiple positions this offseason, and the situations involving Higgins and Wayne contribute to the uncertainty as the team readies for their upcoming preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Further updates on their conditions are expected as evaluations continue.
