Jayden Higgins

No. 81 · 2nd season

Jayden Higgins tears his ACL in a joint practice against the Raiders.

A season-ending injury arrived in a moment of preparation. During a joint practice against the Las Vegas Raiders, Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins tore his ACL—the kind of sudden, catastrophic hit that ends a year before it really starts. The Houston receiving room, already managing its own depth and chemistry, now has to absorb this loss and find another way forward. Higgins is sidelined for the season. What remains is the waiting: the long months of rehabilitation, the question of what kind of player returns, and whether the Texans' receiving corps can compensate for one fewer option. For Higgins, it is the hardest reset of all.
