Higgins was becoming one of C.J. Stroud’s most trusted weapons, especially in the red zone, and Houston is now losing a big-bodied playmaker they believed was ready to take a major leap. Now? Hutch is your WR2. Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel come with major uncertainty. Sixth-round pick Lewis Bond has made some noise, and Jared Wayne is still in the mix. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. If you're the Houston Texans, it's time to stop playing around and swing for the fences. On today's Locked On Texans, we break down: 🚨 Jayden Higgins' torn ACL and what it means for Houston Why Higgins may have been the Texans' best red-zone weapon What C.J.

At some point, you have to wonder what this feels like for your franchise quarterback. Houston is trying to win NOW. And if anyone thinks this Texans WR room doesn't need another player with significant talent, they're lying to themselves. It's time to make the call. It's time to make the trade.
