Jordan (knee) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Colts.
Jordan will finish out the remainder of Sunday's game off the field, effectively ending his 2022 campaign. With the nature and severity of this knee issue still unclear, it will be worth monitoring his injury status heading into this upcoming offseason since Houston is not in contention for a playoff spot. In the short term, Jordan Akins and Teagan Quitoriano will serve as Houston's only available tight ends for the remainder of this Week 18 contest.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Exits versus Indianapolis
Rotowire
Jordan is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury.
Jordan did not record a target before exiting in the first half, though it's unclear when or how this injury first arose. The second-year tight end caught at least one pass in each of the Texans' previous three contests. With fellow backup O.J. Howard (hip) already inactive, Teagan Quitoriano could be in line for increased usage alongside top tight end Jordan Akins for the time being.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: One catch in loss
Rotowire
Jordan caught one of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville.
He was more involved with Teagan Quitoriano (knee) inactive, but there wasn't much happening in the passing attack, which was held under 200 passing yards for the eighth time. Jordan entered the game with just three targets over the previous three weeks.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Snags two catches in win
Rotowire
Jordan caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Saturday's 19-14 win over Tennessee.
Jordan, who played just five snaps the previous week, was on the field for 36 snaps after Teagan Quitoriano left with a knee injury. Houston had made O.J. Howard inactive, which resulted Jordan receiving his most playing time since Week 9.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Five snaps in loss
Rotowire
Jordan caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Houston's top two wideouts were sidelined, so the team's tight ends were prominent in the loss with six red-zone targets and two touchdowns, but Jordan didn't get much of a cut. He played just five snaps and has seen a total of 42 over the last three games since returning from a three-week stint as a healthy scratch. Jordan held much promise entering the season after being a productive receiver over the second half of 2021, but he doesn't fit in offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's scheme, which requires blocking tight ends to enable an effective rushing attack.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to active roster
Rotowire
Jordan caught four of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to Cleveland.
Week 13 marked the first time in four weeks that Jordan was part of the active roster. After being a healthy inactive for three weeks, Jordan played 24 snaps and was heavily involved as a target. O.J. Howard was made inactive, clearing the way for Jordan's return. While it remains uncertain why Jordan was inactive the previous three weeks, it's assumed his failings as a blocker played a role in the decision.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Not playing once again
Rotowire
Jordan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jordan is now in line to miss his second consecutive contest due to a coach's decision. In his absence, Jordan Akins, O.J. Howard and Teagan Quitoriano are slated to handle Houston's tight end duties Sunday versus Washington.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Healthy scratch for Week 10
Rotowire
Jordan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Despite leading all Texans tight ends in the Week 9 loss to the Eagles by playing 63 percent of the snaps on offense, Jordan will find himself out of the game plan entirely Sunday as a healthy inactive. The second-year player hasn't lived up to his billing as the Texans' best pass-catching tight end since he made his return to the lineup Week 7 after a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain. In those three contests, Jordan mustered a measly 3-24-0 receiving line on 11 targets. He now looks to have been pushed out of the tight-end rotation by rookie Teagan Quitoriano, who scored a touchdown on his lone reception in his NFL debut last week. Expect the Texans to run a three-man committee at the position Sunday that will also include O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Active in Week 7
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Raiders, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.
The second-year tight end will therefore be active for the first time since Week 2 after finally overcoming his ankle issue. His return will make the Texans' tight end picture even murkier, as O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins remain on hand as well for snaps at the position.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Status in question for Week 7
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
Jordan has been tending to an ankle issue since Week 2 prep and hasn't played since that game in Denver, but he may be poised for a return after capping this week with back-to-back full practices. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, and if Jordan is active he'll have to contend for targets with fellow tight ends O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to practice after bye
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) took part in practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jordan missed three straight contests leading up to Houston's Week 6 bye, but his return to the field Wednesday in a limited capacity is a step in the right direction. Given his lengthy absence, he'll likely have to log at least one full practice Thursday and/or Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday in Las Vegas. Regardless, when available, Jordan could challenge O.J. Howard for the top spot on the depth chart at tight end.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Remains out this week
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
With Jordan out again, look for O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins (a likely practice squad elevation) to lead the Texans' tight end corps against Jacksonville. That's an arrangement that led to Howard catching two of his five targets for 27 yards and Akins catching both of his targets for 33 yards in last weekend's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) isn't practicing Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jordan hasn't practiced since tweaking his ankle in the Texans' 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 2 and looks to be trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday in Jacksonville. Before the Texans formally decide on his status for the weekend, they'll wait and see if Jordan can fit in any on-field work Friday. With Pharaoh Brown having since been released and Jordan looking unlikely to be available Week 5, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins look set to split reps at tight end against the Jaguars.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jordan is still considered day-to-day, but he's starting off a third straight week as a non-participant in practice. His absence allowed O.J. Howard to operate as Houston's top tight end Week 4, and the Texans have since released Pharaoh Brown (hip/shoulder), who started in the first three games of the season before sitting out last week's loss to the Chargers.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Not playing in Week 4
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers.
Following a second consecutive week in which he was unable to practice due to an ankle injury, Jordan will miss another game. Fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown (hip/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday, but he seems likely to play after following an FP/FP/LP practice regimen. Aside from Brown, O.J. Howard is the other TE on the Texans' active roster.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Absent at practice to begin week
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) wasn't present for the open portion of Wednesday's practice and will be listed as a non-participant on the Texans' first Week 4 injury report, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The ankle injury Jordan suffered in the Texans' Week 2 loss to Denver kept him from practicing Wednesday through Friday last week before he sat out Sunday's loss to the Bears. Jordan's continued absence from practice suggests he hasn't made much progress in his recovery, but he'll still have two more opportunities to get back on the field in some capacity before the Texans decide on his status for this weekend's game against the Chargers. If Jordan is sidelined for a second straight contest, Jordan Akins -- who caught three of four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown Week 3 -- would likely serve as the Texans' main pass-catching tight end.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Not practicing Friday
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) is not participating in the start of Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jordan looks to be trending the wrong way for Sunday's game against the Bears, as he hasn't yet practiced this week. O.J. Howard and Pharaoh Brown (shoulder) will stand to handle increased opportunities if Jordan can't go.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Misses Thursday practice
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) did not practice Thursday.
Jordan still has Friday to make a potential practice appearance this week, but even if he does he's not likely to be especially close to full strength. The Texans also will have to watch the status of Pharaoh Brown, who popped up on the injury report Thursday with a shoulder issue. O.J. Howard would likely have to do any lifting Jordan or/and Brown cannot against Chicago in Week 3.

Jordan (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Jordan still has two more opportunities to take the practice field prior to Sunday's game against the Bears, but if he's out this weekend, Pharaoh Brown and O.J. Howard will likely split work at tight end.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Hurts ankle in Week 2
Rotowire
Per coach Lovie Smith, Jordan injured his ankle in Sunday's 16-9 loss to Denver, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports.
Jordan was questionable coming into the game due to an ankle injury, but it's unclear whether this ankle injury is an aggravation of the previous one. The second-year tight end caught two of four targets for three yards while he was in the game. More updates on Jordan's status should surface before the Texans take on the Bears in Week 3.
