Brevin Jordan: Everything you need to know

Jordan is progressing in his rehab from the torn patellar tendon he suffered during training camp last year, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Mandatory practices still haven't started up yet for the new year, so there's no reason for Houston to rush Jordan back into action. The Texans signed Foster Moreau in free agency and added second-rounder Marlin Klein in the 2026 NFL Draft, so Jordan's place on their 53-man roster is far from guaranteed at this point.

Jordan (knee) and the Texans agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Jordan has been sidelined for the entirety of the regular season after suffering a significant knee injury at practice in August, but he will now stick around Houston for another year. The tight end caught 17 passes for a career-high 219 yards while scoring two touchdowns in his last healthy campaign in 2023, and he'll look to get back on track in 2026.

The Texans (knee) announced Tuesday that Jordan (knee) will be placed on IR, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Jordan, who had worked his way back from an ACL tear suffered Week 2 of 2024 before being carted off the field Monday, appears to have suffered a second consecutive season-ending knee injury. It's a brutal development for the 2021 fifth-round pick, who had appeared positioned to make an impact in Houston's tight end corps behind Dalton Schultz this season. Instead, Jordan now faces another arduous recovery process looking ahead to the 2026 campaign, while Cade Stover and Irv Smith become positioned for expanded reserve roles behind Schultz.
