Why is Jaylin Noel's role so limited for the Texans' offense? DeMeco Ryans weighs in
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans discussed wide receiver Jaylin Noel's limited role in the offense in Houston's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Despite Nico Collins being out for the Houston Texans' game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Jaylin Noel's role on the offense remained limited. In the match, Noel was targeted five times but only managed one reception for 31 yards and made 14 routes. He was still active in special teams, with a 31-yard kick return and three punt returns averaging 10.7 yards.
This is the second week Noel's catches have been limited, even though his route totals were still low. Rookie wideout Lewis Bond, called up from the practice squad, had more routes than Noel by game's end. Head coach DeMeco Ryans acknowledges Noel's progress, particularly in the return game, but is still monitoring his offensive role. Ryans believes the team has opportunities to capitalize on but needs to improve.
