Texans lose WR depth as Higgins tears ACL in practice

Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins tore his ACL during a Tuesday practice, likely sidelining him for the season. Higgins was expected to serve as the team’s No. 2 WR behind Nico Collins, so his absence thins out Houston’s depth at receiver. Expect Xavier Hutchinson to take on a bigger role, with Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel seeing more snaps, which could dampen fantasy value for Texans pass-catchers other than Collins in 2026.
