# Is Jayden Higgins out for the 2026 season?

Yes, unfortunately Jayden Higgins is out for the entire 2026 season. He suffered a **torn ACL** on August 19 during a joint practice with the Raiders, and the injury has sidelined him for the year (from the **Jayden Higgins** page).

This is a tough blow — the Texans and DeMeco Ryans were expecting Higgins to take a big second-year leap as WR2 opposite Nico Collins. Instead, Tank Dell will likely step into a bigger role, and the third receiver spot becomes a competition between Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson.
