The Texans waived Higdon on Saturday. Higdon spent the 2019 campaign on the Texans' practice squad and is likely heading there again this season. If David Johnson, Duke Johnson or Buddy Howell sustains an injury, expect Higdon to be next in line for a promotion.
-
Higdon signed a reserve/future contract with the Texans on Monday. Higdon joined the Texans as an undrafted free agent in the spring and remained on the practice squad after falling victim to roster cutdowns. The 23-year-old will now have a full offseason with the team to work towards a roster spot in 2020.

Higdon was signed to the Houston's practice squad. Higdon was the Texans' top ball carrier in terms of attempts during the preseason, but Lamar Miller's injury created a need to add more proven backs to the mix. Hence, the Texans will ride Duke Johnson and Carlos Hyde as their top two backs with Buddy Howell and Taiwan Jones filling out the depth chart.

Houston waived Higdon on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. The 22-year-old started in Houston's preseason finale against the Rams, rushing eight times for 25 yards and catching both of his targets for 16 more yards. The Texans traded for fellow running back Carlos Hyde on Saturday, which alleviated some pressure on their running back situation but made Higdon more expendable.

Higdon carried eight times for 25 yards and caught both his targets for an additional 16 yards during Thursday's 22-10 preseason loss to the Rams. Higdon started and featured several times on the team's long touchdown drive to start the game, but he generated very little in the way of statistics. He alternated drives with Damerea Crockett in the early going, though neither back found much success running the ball. Higdon is in contention to make the regular season roster, and although he's underwhelmed over the last couple of exhibition contests, his odds of doing so went up drastically last week when Lamar Miller suffered a serious knee injury.
