Texans Place WR Higgins on Season-Ending IR

Higgins, a 2025 second-round pick, suffered the injury during a joint practice with the Raiders on Tuesday when he landed awkwardly in the end zone during an 11-on-11 red zone drill.

The 24-year-old wide receiver started 10 games last season, recording 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He was expected to start opposite Nico Collins this season, elevating the importance of Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel to the Texans' offense. xsportfeed.quest
