Cade Stover's broken foot leaves Houston with a gaping TE hole and could trigger IR moves or practice-squad elevations. Harrison Bryant or Luke Lachey from the Texans’ practice squad look likely to step in, while Irv Smith Jr. is already down for the count and Brevin Jordan is out for the season. Dalton Schultz remains a veteran anchor, but the target distribution could tilt toward Bryant or Lachey in the coming weeks. The Rams test will also shape how Houston uses two-TE sets going forward.
