Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins Out for 2026 Season with Torn ACL
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins suffered a torn ACL during training camp, ending his 2026 season. The injury removes a key target from the team's offense, prompting increased roles for Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell, and Jaylin Noel. Dell is recovering from a serious knee injury that sidelined him in 2025, while Noel is managing a broken finger and hamstring issues. The Texans face challenges in maintaining depth at wide receiver as they prepare for the upcoming season.
