Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins is set to miss the entirety of the 2026 NFL season due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to a source familiar with his injury. The revelation was made to The Associated Press under the condition of anonymity, as the Texans have not yet disclosed the extent of Higgins' injury.
On Tuesday, the second-year receiver suffered a leg injury while running a route during a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders. Initially, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans reported that Higgins was being assessed for a leg issue. In his first season with the team, which he entered as a second-round draft pick in 2025, Higgins contributed 41 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns.
He was counted on to partner with No. 1 wideout Nico Collins in the Texans' offense, which is led by quarterback C.J. Stroud.
