    Texans declared TE Brevin Jordan, CB Collin Wright, LB Aiden Fisher, OL Febechi Nwaiwu, OL Nate Thomas and DT Jaden Crumedy inactive for Houston’s Week 1 game against the Jets.

    Jordan is a healthy scratch after missing most of the last two seasons to injury. No real surprises here. Thomas was just acquired in trade at last cuts and will likely play his way into a reserve role at some point. The only player who was out or questionable for the Texans on the Friday injury report was Kayden McDonald, who headed to injured reserve.

    He was released at last cuts, but comes back as the Texans created extra roster space with a few injured reserve placements. DL Dominique Robinson also re-signed with the team.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    Jordan is participating in some capacity. Per Ryans, Jordan “had a really big play yesterday on a choice route.” Jordan, 25, has played just two games in each of the last two seasons, having torn an ACL in September 2024 and another in August 2025. If he can remain healthy, Jordan will compete for a backup role this season.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    Jordan was set to be a free agent next offseason, but will now remain under contract through the 2026 season. The fifth-year tight end missed all of this season after suffering a torn patellar tendon in training camp, and has appeared in just two games since 2024 after a torn ACL also ended his season last year.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    Jordan sustained a gut-wrenching knee injury during Monday’s practice. He was seen writhing and screaming on the ground for several minutes and Texans teammates appeared shaken up and emotional. Jordan was coming back from an ACL injury he sustained last year and was slated to be a regular part of the team’s tight end rotation. Now his NFL career could be in jeopardy.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    From the words of Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson, “He appears to be in serious pain. Lot of noise coming from the field team huddled around him. Practice halted as Brevin Jordan is hurting very badly. Inconsolable.” We’ll need official word from the team before any conclusions can be drawn, but it certainly looks like an unfortunate injury for a tight end that was attempting to come back from a lost season in 2024 due to a torn ACL.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was the first to report the deal. The fourth-year tight end was the subject of preseason hype heading into his contract year with the team, but a torn ACL suffered in Week 2 limited him to just two catches for seven yards on the year. Now under contract through next season, Jordan, who turns 25 next summer, will get a chance at another breakout season in 2025.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    The injury will sideline Jordan for the remainder of the 2024 season. It’s a disappointing development for a player that looked to be on the rise, but now will not be able to play until 2025. Dalton Schultz will remain the starting tight end for the Texans, with Cade Stover — and potentially Irv Smith Jr. — seeing more reps along the way.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    It’s unclear why Jordan was placed on injured reserve at this time. He will be required to miss at least four games but could be out longer depending on the severity of his injury. His absence will keep Dalton Schultz running a full complement of routes and could free up a few extra reps for rookie Cade Stover. The Texans also signed Irv Smith Jr. to their practice squad today.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    Coming off a wild card appearance where he turned on the jets for a 76-yard touchdown, Jordan reverted to his usual form behind Dalton Schultz. Before last week’s big play, Jordan’s career-long reception was 27 yards. Now the owner of 51 catches through three seasons, Jordan hasn’t proven himself in any format of fantasy, but he is still somehow only 24 years old in July. With Schultz headed to free agency and Jordan having one year left on his rookie deal, he remains a “player to watch” despite his early-career inconsistency.
  • HOU Tight End #9
    Jordan caught C.J. Stroud’s only touchdown of the day on a short pitch and catch in the red zone. Jordan got open on a play fake and took a nice angle to the pylon for a touchdown. Jordan could see a few more snaps in Week 18 with multiple Texans receivers banged up, but we wouldn’t stream him or take a shot on him in DFS contests as he will still be the backup to Dalton Schultz.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Lamar Jackson’s ankle sprain is “unconventional.”

    The sprain Jackson sustained in Week 4 against the Titans, according to Rapoport, is neither low nor high. Rapoport said Monday that Jackson has an “outside” shot at suiting up in Week 5 against the Falcons and could miss multiple games with the unique ankle situation. Tyler Huntley will once again sub in for Jackson until he’s ready to return. Baltimore will likely be far more run heavy with Huntley under center, limiting targets for Zay Flowers and the rest of the Ravens pass catchers.

    Patriots brought in free agent RB Jamaal Williams for a workout.

    The Pats brought in an interesting name to work out for the backfield this week, bringing in former Packers, Lions, and Saints running back Jamaal Williams. The 31-year-old last appeared in the NFL for the Saints in 2024, tallying 164 rushing yards that season. He had a career year for the Lions in 2022, totaling 1,000 yards on the ground and leading the league in rushing touchdowns. The Patriots are looking for some depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson; there is no indication Williams will sign, but he will be practice squad depth if he does.

    Giants WR Braxton Berrios (foot) announced he will need season-ending surgery.

    Berrios announced on his Instagram that he will need season-ending surgery for his foot injury that landed him on injured reserve. The 31-year-old is primarily a special teamer, returning four punts and five kicks this season. Injuries have prevented Berrios from appearing in more than 14 games over the last three seasons and he now has his season end early as he requires foot surgery.

    Broncos signed WR Cam Ross to their practice squad.

    With Pat Bryant (ankle) suffering a multi-week injury in Week 4, the Broncos are adding to their wide receiver depth by signing Ross to the practice squad. The 25-year-old Ross was an undrafted free agent out of Virginia who spent training camp with the Broncos before he was let go in final cuts. Ross now re-joins the practice squad. EDGE Jahfari Harvey was let go from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

    He’ll replace Paris Johnson, who heads to season-ending injured reserve. Wills, the former 10th overall pick in the 2020 draft, will compete with 2026 seventh-rounder Jayden Williams for reps at left tackle in Johnson’s absence.

    Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (right groin/hip) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was an addition to the report. Never a great sign, especially on a short week. The Buccaneers aren’t carrying a practice-squad kicker, so expect some workouts as they try to find someone you won’t be starting in fantasy football with Jalon Daniels under center.

    Cardinals placed TE Hunter Long (knee) on injured reserve.

    He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Long had played 91 snaps in his first four weeks with the Cardinals and will cede blocking duties to promoted practice-squadder Teagan Quitoriano for those of you in points-per-blocked-players leagues.

    OT Lane Johnson retired from the NFL after 14 seasons.

    We’d heard word through former Eagles EDGE Brandon Graham on a post-game show that this was on the table following Week 4, but it’s still a stunner to see it come to fruition. Johnson cites that his “personal and family priorities” have changed in his post about retiring. The stalwart Eagles right tackle made two first-team All-Pro appearances and three second teams, along with six Pro Bowls. Markel Bell started in his stead in Week 4 and should be expected to get the playing time at right tackle going forward.
