The Houston Texans have high hopes for the 2024 season. After winning Offensive Rookie of the Year last season, quarterback CJ Stroud has picked up where he left off. And the second-year passer has a new weapon in the arsenal after the Texans landed wideout Stefon Diggs in a trade with the Buffalo Bills. The team is off to a 2-0 start and sits atop the AFC South. However, the injuries in Houston are starting to pile up after just two weeks of play.
The Texans lost fourth-year tight end Brevin Jordan to a torn ACL following the team’s 19-13 Week Two win over the Chicago Bears. Houston moved Jordan to the IR, ending his season. The loss has hit the organization hard. “If you want to talk about the heartbeat of this team, it’s just who he is. Somebody who loves hard and he loves everyone in this building,” Stroud said of Jordan, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz on X.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans also weighed in. “It’s really heartbreaking losing Brevin… [he] was on his way to a breakout year. I feel sorry for Brevin and the injury. Any time these guys go through these injuries, it’s always tough,” Ryans said, according to KPRC 2 reporter Aaron Wilson.
