Replacing Jayden Higgins is going to take a community effort.
The Houston Texans lost the second-year receiver to a torn ACL during a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders on Aug. 18, an injury that ends his season before it started. Feeling a little light in the receiver room, the Texans knew that some reinforcements would be required.
On Aug. 21, they made a pair of veteran additions in the form of Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones, according to multiple reports.
The team also worked out Josh Reynolds alongside the other two receivers, but the roster spots are going to Shepard and Jones for the time being. Both veterans will now be tasked with doing enough to earn a roster spot, even if time is running short on the preseason.
Houston has just one game left before the big roster cuts take place, meaning Shepard and Jones will have to make an impact in practice to earn a spot on the 53.
