Overview

• KPRC2 reporter Aaron Wilson reported Stover broke his foot in the opener against the Rams and is out indefinitely.
• The Texans already lost Brevin Jordan for the season and have Irv Smith Jr. on injured reserve, leaving the position thin.
• Dalton Schultz becomes the clear lead option after he and Stover were the only tight ends active in Week 1.
• Practice-squad tight ends Harrison Bryant and rookie Luke Lachey are candidates for elevation before the Week 2 game against Tampa Bay.
• Houston is expected to add another tight end for depth, with Stover exiting after four catches for 22 yards in the loss to Los Angeles.
