Texans practice squad running back Jawhar Jordan rushed for 101 yards in NFL debut, a season-high for any back on the roster

Here's everything Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said following Sunday's 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Jordan will be making his regular-season debut for the Texans in his second season with the club. The Texans selected Jordan in the sixth-round with the No. 205 overall pick of the 2024 out of Syracuse (three seasons) and then Louisville (two seasons).

The extension keeps the 25-year-old tight end in Houston through the 2026 season. As reported by Aaron Wilson, #Texans tight end Brevin Jordan signing one-year deal through 2026 season, per league source. Rehab going great from torn patellar tendon suffered in August. On track for next season.

Houston moved to 8-5 with Sunday’s 20-10 victory over the free-falling Kansas City Chiefs. NFL Media gives the Texans an 87% chance to reach the postseason; they would be the AFC’s No. 7 seed and play at the No. 2 New England Patriots in the Wild Card Round if the playoffs began tomorrow.

The Houston Texans crossed off a noteworthy piece of business before it became an issue with veteran Brevin Jordan.
