It’s no news that Texans tight end Brevin Jordan was injured reserve on Wednesday. The team came under hot water when the player tore his ACL against the Bears. But that’s not even the worst part! In a shocking twist, Jordan is out for the rest of the 2024 NFL season, as per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.

Imagine being the heartbeat of a team. Well, that is Brevin Jordan for the Texans. Amid all the tension going on, QB CJ Stroud talked about the TE, stating how Jordan loves everyone on the team. Schultz shared an X post mentioning the QB’s thoughts on Brevin. As per the post, Stroud said, “If you want to talk about the heartbeat of this team, it’s just who he is. Somebody who loves hard, and he loves everyone in this building.” Well, isn’t it a tough blow for a promising young player? And that’s not all!

While the no. 2 tight end is done for the season, Texans players and head coach are just trying to roll with the punches. HC DeMeco Ryans called the injury disheartening during Wednesday’s press conference. He said, “It’s really heartbreaking losing Brevin.” The Defensive Rookie of the Year also mentioned how he feels sorry for the injury. As per Ryan, the tight end was on his way to a breakout season.

Isn’t it sad to lose a key player because of injury? And it gets even sadder when they play an entire game with that injury. Well, Brevin Jordan, the player loved by all, considers himself an army personnel on the gridiron. Jordan is ready to face any challenges and says, “We modern day gladiators. I played the whole game, not knowing which play or when, but with a torn ACL and didn’t even know until the next day. I love this football sh*t so much bro.” While the Tight End grinned and bored it out, his exit is definitely not good news for the Texans.

With Brevin Jordan’s painful exit from the 2024 season, what’s next for the Texans

Brevin Jordan’s torn ACL has thrown the Houston Texans a major curveball for the 2024 season. In 2023, he made quite an impression with 17 receptions for 219 yards, playing a crucial role in the Texans’ wild-card victory over the Browns. And that’s not all! Early in the second quarter, he snagged a short pass from C.J. Stroud and turned it into a spectacular 76-yard touchdown run. That play was a game-changer and proved Jordan’s talent for making big plays when it mattered most.

Fast forward to 2024, the injury, which Jordan played through during the game against the Bears, was only confirmed the next day, leaving the team to rethink their offensive game plan. And now the Tight end is in double trouble!

He was in the final year of his rookie contract, and this injury came at a challenging time for Jordan as he aimed to establish himself on the team. But now, his future with the Texans is in question. This puts extra pressure on the two-time Second-team All-ACC receiver to recover and prove his worth while the Texans evaluate their options.

In Jordan’s absence, rookie Cade Stover will likely step up as the primary tight end, supported by newly signed veteran Irv Smith Jr. The Texans will need to adjust their offensive strategy to improve the strengths of these players, especially with a crucial game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

It feels sad to see players bidding goodbye to a season because of an injury. But since injuries are just part of the game and only those who endure the pain come out on top, we’re all hoping Brevin Jordan makes a strong comeback!
