Sourced report
Higgins suffered a torn ACL in a joint practice and has been placed on injured reserve, ending his 2026 season. The injury removes a projected Houston starter, but the club's target distribution should be treated as unsettled until regular-season usage provides clearer evidence.
Status basis: high trust source
Fantasy impact
Remove Higgins from 2026 redraft plans. Do not assign his full target share to a single Texan receiver before the opening-week rotation is established.
