The Houston Texans faced injury issues during their joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, as wide receivers Jayden Higgins and Jared Wayne were unable to finish the session. Higgins reportedly sustained a leg injury and was seen in distress but managed to exit the field on his own.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans did not provide an immediate update on Higgins' health, noting that evaluations were still ongoing. Quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed his concern for Higgins, highlighting the player's recent strong performance in practice and wishing him a quick recovery.
The status of Jared Wayne's injury remains uncertain, with no additional details available. His performance had been impressive during training camp, making his situation noteworthy.
In the Texans' wide receiver group, Jaylin Noel has returned to practice, while Tank Dell was not present. Dell's absence follows previous discussions about his potential participation in upcoming games, with Ryans having expressed optimism regarding his return.
The Texans have been dealing with injuries across multiple positions this offseason, and the latest developments with Higgins and Wayne contribute to the challenges as the team readies for their next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Updates on their conditions are expected as evaluations continue.
