Texans' Cade Stover: Ruled out for Week 16
Stover (appendix) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.
Stover will be sidelined for a second straight game after undergoing an emergency appendectomy this past Saturday. It's unclear whether he'll be able to progress in his recovery enough to play against the Ravens on Christmas Day. With no other healthy tight end on the active roster outside of starter Dalton Schultz, the Texans will likely elevate Irv Smith from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's game due to Stover's injury.

Texans' Cade Stover: DNP for Tuesday's walkthrough
Stover (appendix) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Stover underwent an emergency appendectomy Saturday, which forced him to miss Sunday's win against the Dolphins, and the procedure may force the rookie tight end to be sidelined for multiple weeks. Irv Smith could be elevated from the Texans' practice squad to the active roster for Saturday's game against the Chiefs and serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Schultz if Stover is ruled out.

Texans' Cade Stover: Out after emergency appendectomy
Houston downgraded Stover from questionable to out for Sunday's game against Miami after he required an emergency appendectomy Saturday.
While the Texans relay that Stover is doing well and expected to make a full recovery, he'll likely be in store for a multi-game absence and could be a candidate for injured reserve. With Stover sidelined for at least Sunday's contest, the Texans will turn to Irv Smith to serve as the backup behind starting tight end Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Cade Stover: Late addition to injury report
Stover is dealing with an illness and is questionable to play against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Stover appears to have been afflicted with the illness during the weekend, as he didn't have an injury designation following the Texans' final practice Friday. The rookie tight end logged a season-high 57 percent of Houston's offensive snaps Week 13 against Jacksonville prior to Houston's bye and caught his first career touchdown pass one week prior. If Stover can't play Sunday, there'd likely be more opportunities available for Irv Smith, who was elevated from the team's practice squad Saturday.

Texans' Cade Stover: Targeted once in win
Stover caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13.
Stover (37 snaps) was on the field nearly as much as Dalton Schultz (43), but the starter continued to dominate targets among Houston's tight ends. Injuries to Brevin Jordan (knee), Dalton Keene (knee) and Teagan Quitoriano (knee) have presented an opportunity for Stover, which should set the rookie up nicely for 2025, but Schultz is also signed for another two seasons.

Texans' Cade Stover: Secures first TD in loss
Stover caught three of four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12.
Stover caught his first touchdown in the NFL on the game's opening play from scrimmage. He wasn't the primary option on the play, but when he broke past the defender and was wide open, quarterback C.J. Stroud took advantage. This was the first week that Stover had more targets than starter Dalton Schultz (two), who has yet to reach the end zone in 2024.

Texans' Cade Stover: Two touches in win
Stover caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas.
Stover had multiple catches for just the third time in 11 games, but he did get his second red-zone look in the last three weeks. While his playing time has increased since Brevin Jordan (knee) suffered a season-ending injury, the rookie tight end remains firmly behind Dalton Schultz on the depth chart. Stover has 10 receptions on 15 targets for 102 yards through 11 games.

Texans' Cade Stover: Multiple targets in loss
Stover caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit.
Stover had multiple targets, including his first in the red zone, for a third consecutive week. Dalton Schultz remains the primary option at tight end, but Stover is enjoying increased attention due to injuries at wideout. The rookie tight end has eight receptions on 13 targets for 87 yards through 10 games.

Texans' Cade Stover: Two targets in loss
Stover did not catch either of his two targets in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9.
Houston was without its top two wideouts for the game, which presented an opportunity for a lesser-known receiver, such as Stover, to produce. However, that didn't materialize, as quarterback C.J. Stroud (eight sacks, 11 hits) was on the run most of the night, which impacted the passing attack. Stover has seven catches on 11 targets for 85 yards through nine games.

Texans' Cade Stover: Season-high targets in win
Stover caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8.
The targets were a season high for Stover, who's seen an uptick in playing time in the wake of Nico Collins' hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. Collins could have company on the sidelines this coming Thursday against the Jets, as Stefon Diggs sustained what appears to be a serious knee injury Sunday, which is likely to leave Houston without its top two receivers for Week 9. That sets up a scenario where Stover could get additional opportunities, although it's likely the bulk of extra available targets would accrue to Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Cade Stover: One catch in loss
Stover caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Green Bay.
The passing attack struggled in this game, as quarterback C.J. Stroud was held to 86 yards while completing just 10 of 21 throws. However, Stover still saw his usual one target for the week. The rookie tight end has five catches on six targets for 66 yards through seven contests. Stover is firmly behind Dalton Schultz on the depth chart but has become more prominent, averaging 26 snaps over five weeks since Brevin Jordan suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Texans' Cade Stover: Two catches in win
Stover caught both targets for six yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Buffalo in Week 5.
This was Stover's first game with multiple targets, and the rookie tight end has caught all four thrown his way for 51 yards (12.8 yards per catch). He's played 31.7 percent of the offensive snaps in 2024.

Texans' Cade Stover: One reception in win
Stover caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4.
Stover's 27-yard catch moved the Texans to midfield on a drive that eventually resulted in the team's first touchdown. Brevin Jordan's season-ending knee injury has elevated Stover to the No. 2 tight end behind veteran Dalton Schultz. The rookie tight end has two catches on two targets for 45 yards.

Texans' Cade Stover: Makes first NFL catch
Stover caught his lone target for 18 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears in Week 2.
Stover was once again the third tight end for the Texans, but the former Ohio State teammate of quarterback C.J. Stroud made his first catch in the NFL on Sunday. Opportunities are limited for the rookie, who is playing behind Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan.

Texans' Cade Stover: Third TE in opener
Stover went untargeted over 15 snaps in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1.
Stover operated as the Texans' third tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan. That should be the case going forward for Stover, who made the final roster after Teagan Quitoriano (calf) got injured during the preseason.

Texans' Cade Stover: Sticks around after cutdown day
Stover made the Texans' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stover's healthy status likely played a role in his winning a roster spot, as the Texans waived/injured fellow tight end Teagan Quitoriano (calf) and released fullback/tight end Andrew Beck, who was dogged by a calf injury during the preseason. Stover currently lines up as the third tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan.
