Jaguars’ Former 823-Yard WR Signs With Houston Texans
The Texans add two experienced receivers after Jayden Higgins’ season-ending injury, giving Houston more depth before roster cuts, reports said.
- On Friday, the Houston Texans signed veteran wide receivers Zay Jones and Sterling Shepard after both players impressed during workouts earlier that day.
- Jayden Higgins' season-ending torn ACL, suffered during a joint practice against the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week, prompted the Texans to add receiver depth.
- Shepard brings 443 career receptions for 4,800 yards across 10 NFL seasons, while Jones has 307 catches for 3,295 yards over nine seasons.
- Before finalizing these signings, the Texans made "exploratory trade calls," according to KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson, leaving incumbents Xavier Hutchinson and Jared Wayne competing for roster spots.
- The Texans must reduce their active roster to 53 players by Sunday, August 30, giving the team just over a week to finalize their receiver depth chart.
