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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Stover was targeted once in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Stover had a quiet night after shining a week ago. He and Dalton Keene played 22 snaps behind the top two tight ends, Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan. Stover and Keene are angling for the third spot on the depth chart, while Teagan Quitoriano (calf) has been unavailable.
Stover caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh. Stover was used early on and was a safety valve on one of C.J. Stroud's two completions. The tight end also bailed out Davis Mills later in the first half. Stover has caught five of seven targets for 58 yards through two preseason games. The Texans have injuries at tight end, as both Brevin Jordan (undisclosed) and Teagan Quitoriano (calf) did not suit up for the contest. That puts Stover, a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, in prime position to influence roster decisions.
Stover should see more snaps in preseason games with Teagan Quitoriano (calf) expected to miss at least a few weeks. Quitoriano suffered a strained calf during Thursday's preseason game against Chicago, which clears the way for Stover to emerge as the team's third tight end. Stover caught two of three targets for 26 yards Thursday.
Stover caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Thursday's 21-17 preseason loss to Chicago. Stover was the lone healthy tight end remaining after Teagan Quitoriano was carted off the field during the second quarter with what appears to be a knee injury. Neither of the top two tight ends -- Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan -- suited up and Dalton Keene was unavailable due to a leg injury. Pending Quitoriano's evaluation, the Texans may look to add a tight end in the coming days. Stover, drafted in the fourth round out of Ohio State in 2024, has history with quarterback C.J. Stroud and should see ample opportunities during preseason contests.
