The Texans are kicking off their 2025 season in Los Angeles, against the Rams, and have some players who are in jeopardy of missing their first game.
Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley could have his hands full if Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios end up missing Week one. With Joe Mixon already out for the first four weeks, an offensive line still very much up in the air, and now the wide receiver room taking hits, Houston’s offense could have a lot to overcome right out of the gate.
The good news? The Texans do have in-house options if Kirk and Berrios can’t go. Rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel could be forced into action earlier than expected, but both will be ready to show what they can do, and maximize their opportunity.
For now, it’s a waiting game to see how their statuses progress throughout the week.
