Brevin Jordan was placed on injured reserve, marking yet another season-ending setback for the Texans tight end. The injury occurred during training camp and comes after a torn ACL in Week 2 last season. Houston’s coach described the development as devastating for a player who had worked hard to bounce back, underscoring the emotional and strategic blow to the locker room.
Jordan produced a career-high 219 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2023 after 53 receptions for 532 yards and five TDs across his career. With his season over before it starts, the Texans must reshuffle their passing game plan and depth at tight end, potentially elevating backups and shifting target shares among the offense.
The IR designation tightens the Texans’ TE depth and could alter fantasy projections for the position in Houston. Expect rest-of-season opportunities to tilt toward remaining pass-catchers and any emerging young talents, while the offense adapts to life without Jordan for the year.
For fantasy managers, the development signals a need to monitor waiver options and roster moves in dynasty and redraft leagues, as the Texans reallocate targets and find playmakers to fill the vacated role.
