Will the Houston Texans have Brevin Jordan back soon?
That remains a mystery entering the first preseason game on Thursday night.
For the past several days, the veteran tight end who missed the past two seasons because of lower-body injuries has been sidelined. When asked about his status following Monday’s training camp, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans mentioned that Jordan was once again dealing with a lower-body issue.
“Brevin’s dealing with a knee right now, so he’s kind of day-to-day,” Ryans said. “We’ll see how it goes with him.”
Back in 2024, Jordan suffered a torn ACL in Week 2’s win over the Chicago Bears and missed the rest of the season. A year later, Jordan was back at full speed before suffering another season-ending injury during practice. With a torn patellar tendon, it was another year lost to injury.
A former 2021 draft pick like Pro Bowl wideout Nico Collins and backup quarterback Davis Mills, Jordan has recorded 53 career catches for 532 yards and five touchdowns over his five NFL seasons, though two seasons were lost to injury.
The Texans have five tight ends fighting for reps on the active roster. Dalton Schultz and rookie Marlin Klein are considered locks to make the active roster, as should Foster Moreau because of his potential upside as a blocker. That leaves one spot left between Jordan and Cade Stover barring an injury.
The Texans open the preseason against the Los Angeles Chargers this Thursday at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on ABC.
