The Texans hosted Shorter for a tryout Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The Raiders waived Shorter from injured reserve Tuesday. The wide receiver appears to have requested a release after recovering from an undisclosed injury so he could seek out another team to play for in 2026. The Texans are still missing wide receivers Tank Dell (knee) and Jayden Higgins (knee), meaning Shorter could reinforce the pass-catching depth for the team's practice squad.
