• Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Leading rusher on 15 attempts

  18H ago • By RotoWire

  Jordan handled 15 carries for 53 yards while catching all five of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders. Nick Chubb (6-33-0) got the start in place of Woody Marks (ankle) on Sunday, but it was Jordan who paced the Texans' backfield in touches and production in the win. Jordan was signed from the practice squad early in the week to help address the team's running-back situation. The 2024 sixth-round pick averaged under four yards per carry and failed to hit pay dirt, resulting in a pedestrian fantasy score. Marks was able to get in a limited practice before ultimately being ruled out for Week 16, so Jordan's run of relevance may last just one game if the former is able to suit up against the Chargers on Saturday.

• Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Added to roster

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  The Texans signed Jordan off their practice squad Tuesday. Houston still had the ability to elevate Jordan from the practice squad on two more occasions, but the Texans evidently didn't want to risk him getting poached by another team following his impressive showing in his NFL debut during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. With Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks (ankle) missing the entire second half, Jordan stepped in and carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards to go with two receptions for 17 yards. Jordan should have at least a small role in the game plan in Week 16 against the Raiders if at least one of Chubb and Marks misses the contest, though head coach DeMeco Ryans already suggested Monday that Marks wasn't expected to miss additional time. If both Marks and Chubb are available, Jordan might be inactive for Week 16, since fellow depth backs Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are both core special-teams contributors.

• Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Week 16 Waiver Priority List

  6D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Woody Marks (ankle) is expected to play in Week 16 against Las Vegas, and we'll see what happens with Nick Chubb (ribs), who missed Week 15 against Arizona. If both are out against the Raiders, then Jordan would likely start for the Texans, and he would be worth using as a low-end No. 2 running back or high-end flex in all leagues. Jordan filled in for Marks against the Cardinals and had 15 carries for 101 yards and two catches for 17 yards on two targets. Prior to Week 15, Jordan had been inactive in every game this season.

• Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Tops century mark in rushing yards

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Jordan carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. Nick Chubb (ribs) was inactive, and Woody Marks picked up an ankle injury in the first quarter and didn't return in the second half, which left Jordan to handle the bulk of the work in the backfield to close out the rout. The 2024 sixth-round pick took full advantage of the first action of his NFL career with an outstanding performance. The score was 23-7 at halftime, which may have contributed to the decision to shut down Marks, and it's not clear yet how much time Chubb might need to miss. At the very least, Jordan showed he can be relied upon if needed, which could come as soon as Week 16 against the Raiders.

• Jawhar Jordan: Back with Houston

  11/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Texans signed Jordan to the practice squad Saturday. The Texans cut Jordan from the practice squad in late October, but the second-year pro has opted to return to Houston. He has yet to appear in a regular-season game since the Texans selected him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
