Overview

• Coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Stover’s broken foot and said there is no timetable for his return, with an injured reserve move expected.
• The Texans signed Harrison Bryant off the practice squad to the active roster on a minimum deal with up to $500,000 in incentives, per multiple reports.
• Houston entered Week 1 thin at tight end, with Brevin Jordan and Irv Smith Jr. already on injured reserve and Dalton Schultz the lone healthy veteran.
• Stover started the opener and logged four receptions for 22 yards before the injury, which was first reported by KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson.
• Ryans indicated the team will look to upgrade the position further, with rookie Luke Lachey a call-up option and additional additions in free agency under consideration.
