Texans Target Boutte or Bateman | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans take a major hit as receiver Jayden Higgins tears his ACL, ruling him out for the entire 2026 season. With preseason underway and Nico Collins already their top target, the team is actively seeking reinforcements at wideout—rumored to be eyeing high-upside free agent Kayshon Boutte from New England and veteran Rashod Bateman from Baltimore. Boutte’s explosive potential and one-year deal make him an attractive fit, while Bateman offers experience but comes with higher cost and less production last year. Expect Houston to move fast before kickoff to bolster C.J. Stroud’s arsenal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
