Overview

  • Jordan suffered a serious knee injury on Aug. 11 during an 11-on-11 drill when he landed awkwardly after leaping for a seam pass from C.J. Stroud.
  • Houston officially placed Jordan on injured reserve on Aug. 12, ending his 2025 season and filling his roster spot with veteran offensive tackle Conor McDermott.
  • Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover now lead the Texans’ tight end room in Jordan’s absence.
  • Jordan’s on-field reaction—screaming “No!” and breaking down in tears as teammates rushed to console him—underscored his importance in the locker room.
  • Having missed most of 2024 with an ACL tear and now losing another year, Jordan’s pending free-agent market faces renewed uncertainty.
