The Texans and Jordan agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jordan, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2, looked on pace for a career-high snap share had he not gone down to injury. He played roughly 50 percent of offensive snaps behind top tight end Dalton Schultz in Week 1, his only full appearance of the 2024 season, mostly contributing as a key blocker. Houston's decision to re-sign Jordan, a 2021 fifth-round pick, provides the team some reliable depth for the 2025 campaign.

The Texans and Jordan agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jordan, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2, looked on pace for a career-high snap share had he not gone down to injury. He played roughly 50 percent of offensive snaps behind top tight end Dalton Schultz in Week 1, his only full appearance of the 2024 season, mostly contributing as a key blocker. Houston's decision to re-sign Jordan, a 2021 fifth-round pick, provides the team some reliable depth for the 2025 campaign.
Jordan (knee), whom the Texans placed on injured reserve Wednesday, is out for the season due to a torn ACL, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Jordan played a notable role behind top tight end Dalton Schultz during Houston's first two games of the regular season, serving as a key lead blocker while also catching two of three targets for seven yards. He sustained the knee injury during the Texans' win over the Bears in Week 2 and will now turn his attention toward making a recovery for the 2025 campaign. Beginning with Sunday's road game versus Minnesota, Cade Stover will be in line to handle a larger role behind Schultz. Houston also signed tight end Irv Smith to the practice squad Tuesday.
Jordan, who the Texans placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a knee injury, is reportedly recovering from a torn ACL, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jordan caught his only target during Houston's win over the Bears on Sunday Night Football, but it appears he's since suffered a season-ending injury. The severity of Jordan's injury remains to be fully confirmed by the Texans, but it looks like Cade Stover is in line to handle an increased role behind top tight end Dalton Schultz for the rest of the year, and beginning Week 3 on the road against Minnesota.
Jordan (undisclosed) has been placed on IR by the Texans. Jordan will thus miss at least four games with an unspecified injury, which leaves Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover as the healthy tight ends currently on the Texans' active roster. Chris Myarick is on the team's practice squad and could be elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Jordan caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears in Week 2. For a second consecutive week, there wasn't much happening for Jordan, who has just three targets (two catches) for seven yards thus far. The tight end group is seeing fewer targets overall than in 2023. Houston's tight ends accounted for nearly 21 percent of the team's targets last season compared to 15 percent through the first two weeks of 2024.
Jordan caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1. Jordan was allotted a healthy 40 snaps in the season opener, which matches his snap count for the first five games of 2023. There are too many preferred targets ahead of him, including starting tight end Dalton Schultz, for Jordan's increased run to make a difference at this time. It does, however, indicate a certain level of confidence from the coaching staff. Jordan is looking to build off last season's second half and playoff experience, when he caught 12 of 16 targets for 19.6 yards per reception and two touchdowns over eight games.
Jordan caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason win over the Giants. The tight end missed the Texans' preseason opener due to an undisclosed injury, but he was on the field with the first-team offense Saturday as Houston lined up in 12 personnel for both of C.J. Stroud's drives. Jordan is the team's No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Schultz, but that could still get him on the field more than expected if offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik uses that as his base package. Jordan has never caught more than 20 passes or gained more than 219 receiving yards in a season, and his fantasy value has a firm ceiling on it as long as Schultz is healthy, but the 2021 fifth-round pick might at least get an opportunity to top those numbers in 2024.
Jordan (undisclosed) is slated to miss Houston's Week 1 preseason game against the Steelers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jordan had been deemed healthy so far during training camp, but an undisclosed injury will take him out of Houston's preseason opener. The 6-foot-3 tight end finished out the 2023 season with 17 grabs for 219 yards and two touchdowns, and more information on his preseason injury should be released in the coming days.
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Jordan has improved and regularly makes highlight plays, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jordan nonetheless finds himself in a tough position for the final year of his rookie contract, as the Texans re-signed starting tight end Dalton Schultz in March and drafted Cade Stover in the fourth round. They also have two fullbacks on the offseason roster and one of the best WR groups in the league, making it tough for Jordan to get on the field regularly as a second tight end. The 2021 fifth-round pick did well with his limited chances last year, catching 17 of 21 targets for 219 yards and two touchdowns, but there's not really a path to role growth without Schultz suffering an injury.
