The Texans placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Houston quickly moved Diggs off the 53-man roster after an MRI confirmed that the standout receiver had suffered a torn ACL in his right knee late in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts. The Texans will look to get by with Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie at wide receiver in their Week 9 matchup with the Jets on Thursday, but Nico Collins (hamstring) could come off IR in Week 10 and offset the loss of Diggs. The soon-to-be 31-year-old Diggs will head into free agency this offseason rehabbing from a major injury after producing a 47-496-3 line on 64 targets over his eight games with Houston.
