Texans Revamp WR Room with Shepard and Jones | Houston Texans News

Houston’s wide receiver corps just got a major upgrade with the signings of Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones, filling the void left by Jayden Higgins’ ACL injury. Both veterans bring experience—Shepard posted 371 yards and a TD last season with Tampa Bay, while Jones returns from an Achilles tear. Nico Collins remains untouched at this point, but Shepard could challenge for the slot or even the No. 3 spot. Xavier Hutchinson looks like the current No. 2, though Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel’s return will intensify competition for those roles. With preseason wrapping up, the coaching staff still has time to sort out the final depth chart—but expect fireworks as the roster reshuffles.
