Stroud’s Test Without Higgins | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud is set to take the field in their second preseason game against the Raiders, despite recent ups and downs — as the team grapples with a major loss: wide receiver Jayden Higgins is out for the season after tearing his ACL. With Higgins sidelined, the offensive load shifts to Nico Collins, Tank Dell (returning from injury), and Xavier Hutchinson, all crucial to helping Stroud find rhythm.
