The Houston Texans are dealing with injury issues following their joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders. Wide receivers Jayden Higgins and Jared Wayne were unable to finish the session, with Higgins reportedly suffering a leg injury. Although he was seen in pain, Higgins managed to walk off the field unaided.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans did not provide an immediate update on Higgins' status, indicating that evaluations are ongoing. Quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed concern for his teammate, highlighting Higgins' recent strong practice performance and wishing him a quick recovery. The status of Jared Wayne remains uncertain, as no further details about his condition have been released.
In the wide receiver lineup, Jaylin Noel has returned to practice, while Tank Dell was absent. Dell's situation follows previous discussions regarding his participation in upcoming games, with Ryans previously optimistic about his return. The Texans are navigating injuries across various positions, and the developments with Higgins and Wayne add to the challenges as they prepare for their next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
Updates on their conditions are expected as evaluations continue.
