Texans place TE Brevin Jordan (knee) on injured reserve
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.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini gives latest update on Bills-James Cook contract talks
The Buffalo Bills and their ongoing saga with running back James Cook took another twist on Tuesday... but this time for the better. Amid contract talks with the team, the Pro Bowler sat out four practices plus the Bills' preseason opener against the New York Giants. While it seemed like that would continue, it did not. On Tuesday, Cook was at practice. He showed up and even was a full participant in the workout with his team. It's unclear how or when the contract extension discussions will conclude, but that feels like a move could be inching closer. Time will tell. The Athletic's NFL insider in Dianni Russini did provide a bit of positive news on Tuesday to go along with Cook showing up to practice. According to Russini, it feels more like "when" will a deal will be agreed to. "I'm not overly concerned," Russini said. "Because now we're at that time [of the NFL season]." Russini's full report can be found below:

Social media reactions to Steelers DT Cam Heyward's contract dispute
The contract stalemate between the PIttsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Cam Heyward extended completely through training camp and is threatening to spill over into the regular season. To summarize, Heyward signed a contract extension last offseason, didn't think it was good enough and after a big 2024 season wants a big raise. Meanwhile, the Steelers seem content with not paying Heyward and see if he blinks or sits out games despite having already been paid $13 million this season. In going over social media, it seems the Steelers fanbase isn't as unified in Heyward's cause as they were for edge defender T.J. Watt. Here are some reactions from social media. The sticking points for fans with Heyward is about his comments he made prior to Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers in comparison to his comments about his own contract situation. Many fans also note how much money Heyward has made in his career and feel no sympathy for his plight, demanding even more millions.

The race for HBCU football's top individual honor is officially on. The Black College Football Hall of Fame (BCFHOF) has released its 2025 Watch List for the Black College Football Player of the Year Award, spotlighting 50 of the most talented HBCU football players today. Presented annually to the most outstanding college football player from a Historically Black College or University, the award comes with one of the sport's most prestigious prizes - the Deacon Jones Trophy. This year's Watch List features talent from across the HBCU football landscape: SWAC – 18 playersMEAC – 11 playersSIAC – 10 playersCIAA – 8 playersOVC – 2 playersCAA – 1 player Since its creation in 2016, the award has been claimed by some of the biggest names in recent HBCU football history. Former North Carolina A&T and NFL running back Tarik Cohen was the inaugural winner, followed by two-time Bowie State QB Amir Hall, Tennessee State WR Chris Rowland, and Alabama A&M QB Aqeel Glass - who claimed both the Spring and Fall 2021 awards. Shedeur Sanders took home the 2022 honor before heading to the NFL, while Davius Richard (North Carolina Central) and Jeremy Moussa (Florida A&M) shared the award in 2023. Last year, Jada Byers of Virginia Union stood alone as the 2024 winner. Four finalists will be named at the end of the 2025 season, and the winner will be revealed during halftime of the 2026 Allstate HBCU Legacy Bowl at Tulane University's Yulman Stadium on February 21, 2026. The event - broadcast live on NFL Network - will also celebrate Black culture, history, and opportunity, highlighted by the country's largest HBCU Career Fair. BCFHOF co-founder and NFL legend Doug Williams says the award carries more than just a stat sheet's worth of weight. "The Black College Football Player of the Year Award honors the talent, dedication, and spirit of today's HBCU football players. These young men uphold a proud legacy and inspire future generations to dream bigger and aspire for greatness." Fellow co-founder James Harris connected the trophy to the man it's named after - Hall of Fame pass-rusher David "Deacon" Jones. "Deacon's greatness wasn't just in his dominance on the field, but in the way he inspired others through his leadership, integrity, and commitment to excellence." In the ever-growing spotlight on HBCU football, being on this list is more than another preseason accolade. It's a signal to NFL scouts, media outlets, and fans that these players are the best of the best. With talent spread across every conference - from powerhouse SWAC programs to rising CIAA and SIAC squads - the 2025 race for the Deacon Jones Trophy is shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet. The stage is set. The watch is on. And for HBCU football's elite, the chase for Player of the Year just became very real.
