The Houston Texans placed tight end Brevin Jordan on injured reserve Tuesday, one day after he hurt his knee in practice.
Multiple media reports noted that Jordan’s injury is season ending.
Jordan was injured after landing awkwardly in an unsuccessful attempt to reel in a seam pass from C.J. Stroud during an 11-on-11 drill during Monday’s practice. Jordan initially was able to stand before falling back to the ground and grabbing his lower leg. He was then carted off the field.
Jordan saw his season come to an end in Week 2 last year after tearing his ACL in a game against the Chicago Bears.
“It’s tough for everybody to see Brevin going down, knowing how much work he’s put in to get back to this point of playing football and how excited he was to get back to playing football,” Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday.
Jordan, 25, has totaled 53 catches for 532 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 36 career games (12 starts) since being selected by the Texans in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Houston has Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover atop its tight end depth chart.
The Texans signed offensive tackle Conor McDermott to fill the roster spot on Tuesday.
McDermott, 32, last played in 2023 with the New England Patriots. He has started 17 of the 55 games in which he has played with the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Patriots since being selected by New England in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
