The Houston Texans have confirmed that second-year wide receiver Jaylin Noel is fully healthy and available for the upcoming regular-season kickoff. He does not appear on the Week 1 injury report released Wednesday, signaling his readiness to face the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.
Noel overcame hamstring and finger issues during the early stages of training camp to reach this point. He now joins a receiving group that includes Nico Collins and recent trade acquisition Kayshon Boutte. Noel is currently competing for playing time alongside Xavier Hutchinson as the team prepares for the start of the season.
Gunter, Texas, is located approximately 45 miles northeast of Houston.
