Higgins couldn't get back up immediately, but he eventually limped off on his own power. Higgins, who was off to a strong start to training camp, started 10 games and had 525 receiving yards and six touchdowns during his rookie season. Houston will now rely more heavily on wideouts Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel. Dell and Noel haven't practiced much throughout training camp as both work their way back from injuries. Dell is coming back from a serious knee injury from December 2024 that kept him out all of 2025. Noel, meanwhile, has dealt with a broken finger and hamstring tightness throughout camp.
