Texans' Layne Pryor: Dealing with quad injury
Pryor didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The Northern Iowa product spent time with the Texans' practice squad last season and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in late January. Once fully healthy, Pryor will likely compete for a depth role in Houston's tight end room.

Texans' Trent Brown: Healthy again
Brown (ankle) participated in Houston's minicamp practice Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Brown has recovered from the ankle injury that forced him to miss the Texans' AFC divisional-round loss to the Patriots back in January. The 33-year-old was working with the first-team offense Tuesday, but he's expected to serve as the backup right tackle behind Braden Smith during the regular season.

Texans' Justin Watson: On field for minicamp
Watson (concussion) participated during the Texans' minicamp session Tuesday, David J. Phillip of the Associated Press reports.
Watson suffered a postseason-ending concussion during Houston's wild-card win over Pittsburgh in January, but he's back to full health with minicamp underway. He currently projects for a depth role in a wide receiver corps led by two-time Pro Bowler Nico Collins and 2025 second-rounder Jayden Higgins.

Texans' Logan Hall: Dealing with leg issue
Hall (leg) was sidelined during the Texans' minicamp session Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's not clear when Hall picked up the injury, but it isn't expected to cause a long-term absence. Until he's back to full strength, rookie second-rounder Kayden McDonald could see more practice reps.

Texans' Marlin Klein: Dealing with hamstring issue
Klein was sidelined at the Texans' OTAs during the week after tweaking his hamstring, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Per Wilson, the injury isn't expected to keep Klein off the practice field for an extended period. The rookie second-round pick, who's competing with Foster Moreau for the No. 2 job behind Dalton Schultz, will have a chance to return to practice at some point during the Texans' mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday.

Texans' Louis Hansen: Headed to H-Town
Houston signed Hansen on Thursday.
The rookie tight end out of Connecticut is getting his first chance in the pros with the Texans. Over the course of the past three seasons with the Huskies, Hansen totaled 46 catches for 463 yards and four touchdowns in 40 games.

Texans' Jaylin Smith: Back to 100 percent
Smith (knee) is participating in OTAs this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Smith suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 that landed him on injured reserve until returning in Week 8. He then sustained a season-ending torn meniscus in his knee in Week 9. Wilson reports Smith is now 100 percent healthy and has no restrictions this offseason. He'll compete for a role behind starters Derek Stingley, Kamari Lassiter and slot corner Jalen Pitre.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Working back from major injury
Jordan is progressing in his rehab from the torn patellar tendon he suffered during training camp last year, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Mandatory practices still haven't started up yet for the new year, so there's no reason for Houston to rush Jordan back into action. The Texans signed Foster Moreau in free agency and added second-rounder Marlin Klein in the 2026 NFL Draft, so Jordan's place on their 53-man roster is far from guaranteed at this point.

Texans' Cade Stover: Catching passes on practice field
Stover (knee) is participating in the Texans' OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stover sustained a knee injury during Houston's playoff loss at New England in the divisional round back in January, but he's had time to move past the issue, allowing him to participate in the team's offseason workouts. After the Texans drafted tight end Marlin Klein in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Stover's path to a spot on the final 53-man roster for the upcoming season looks narrow.

Texans' Tank Dell: Not participating in OTAs
Dell (knee) is not participating in OTAs this week, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Dell is on the field in uniform, but he's not sporting a helmet, as the Texans are taking a "patient, long term approach" with the wide receiver this offseason, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since tearing multiple knee ligaments in Week 16 of the 2024 season. While Dell may not participate in offseason workouts, there's a good chance he's on the field at training camp with an eye toward Week 1 of the regular season. If healthy, Dell should occupy a spot in three-wide sets alongside Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins, with Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson available as sub-package wideouts.

Texans' Ajani Carter: Reverts to IR
Carter (knee) reverted to Houston's injured reserve list Tuesday, per NFL Communications.
Carter was waived/injured by the Texans on May 21, but after going unclaimed on waivers, he's reverted to IR. The Houston product underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last week but should be able to return at some point during the 2026 season, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Carter appeared in just two regular-season games during the Texans' 2025 campaign, handling 36 special-teams snaps.

Texans' Nico Collins: Restructures contract
Collins agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract restructure with the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Collins' restructure guarantees his salary for the next two seasons while providing him cash increases of $9 million in 2026 and $8 million in 2027, per Schefter. Houston general manager Nick Caserio made it clear in an interview during the 2026 NFL Draft that the team is not considering trading Collins despite having received calls about the 27-year-old wideout, as DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports, and the Pro Bowler's new contract reinforces his long-term status as the No. 1 target for C.J. Stroud. While suiting up for 15 regular-season games in 2025, Collins secured 71 of 120 targets for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns -- his third consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards.
