Cade Stover: Everything you need to know

Stover (knee) is participating in the Texans' OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Stover sustained a knee injury during Houston's playoff loss at New England in the divisional round back in January, but he appears to be in good shape for offseason workouts. After the Texans drafted tight end Marlin Klein in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Stover's path to a spot on the final 53-man roster for the upcoming season looks narrow.

Stover (knee) did not sustain any damage to his ACL, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports Stover suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's playoff loss to the Patriots. The confirmation of a healthy ACL means that the tight end will likely be able to enter the 2026 season healthy.

Stover (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Patriots. Stover suffered a knee injury early in the fourth quarter, and he will now be forced to miss the remainder of the game. With Dalton Schultz (calf) already done for the day, Harrison Bryant will now operate as the team's top tight end against New England.
