The Houston Texans are hopeful that tight end Brevin Jordan will have a similar outlook to defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, but optimism isn’t high following Monday’s practice.
Jordan, fresh off recovering from a torn ACL suffered last September, suffered a lower leg injury during practice and had to be carted off the field. The scene was emotional, as Jordan was seen visibly upset while being carted off for further evaluation.
“Unfortunately, we saw Brevin go down with an injury,” Ryans said following practice. “We will continue to evaluate ‘Brev’ and see where he is. 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. So, just praying for him to have a successful return.”
While trying to go up to catch a pass from C.J. Stroud in traffic, but when he came down, he fell awkwardly and did not get up. According to Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander, Jordan sat there in shock after being unable to move. A couple of his teammates went to check on him before more players came over to comfort the veteran tight end.
Soon enough, the scene became silent as Jordan began to sob uncontrollably. Multiple reporters stated that Jordan screamed “NO!” before being helped into the cart to be taken back by the medical staff for further evaluation.
A 2021 fifth-round pick out of Miami, Jordan had played in 36 games, recording 13 starts, during the Texans’ two seasons ahead of Stroud’s arrival. He posted 532 receiving yards and five touchdowns before leaving after Week 2’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Even after his injury, the Texans signed Jordan to a one-year extension worth $2.1 million as he was projected to be a free agent in 2025. He was having a good camp and figured to be a big part of Houston’s offense this season under new play-caller Nick Caley.
The Texans return to practice on Tuesday morning ahead a joint practice on Thursday against the Carolina Panthers.
