Head coach DeMeco Ryans did not provide an immediate update on Higgins' status, indicating that evaluations were still in progress. Quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed his concern for Higgins, highlighting the receiver's recent impressive performances and wishing him a quick recovery.
Jared Wayne's injury remains unspecified, but his noteworthy contributions during training camp make his situation significant. Meanwhile, Jaylin Noel has returned to practice, while Tank Dell was absent, raising questions about his availability for upcoming games.
The Texans have been navigating injuries across various positions this offseason, and the latest developments with Higgins and Wayne add to the uncertainty as they prepare for their next preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Updates on their conditions are expected as evaluations continue.
