Jordan caught both of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.
He played just 10 snaps, but Jordan provided quarterback C.J. Stroud with another weapon in the red zone. The tight end played only special teams in Week 1 but has seen 18 percent of the combined offensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Plays offense for first time
Rotowire
Jordan caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts.
Jordan was used on offense for the first time this season after playing special teams only in Week 1. He was third among the position group with 15 snaps, but Jordan is considered a better ball-catcher than No. 2 tight end Teagan Quitoriano. The franchise had high hopes for Jordan when he was drafted in 2021, but the third-year veteran failed to prove he's deserving of a larger role. Dalton Schultz is the clear No. 1 at this point.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: No run on offense
Rotowire
Jordan played five snaps on special teams in Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.
Jordan, who did not play during the preseason due to a hamstring injury, did not get on the field when the offense had the ball. After two seasons in which the organization tried to make Jordan its lead tight end, it looks like they've moved on. Dalton Schultz (62 snaps) and Teagan Quitoriano (22 snaps) are the top two at the position.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Appears ready to play
Rotowire
Jordan (hamstring) wasn't listed on Houston's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Despite having to deal with a hamstring injury back in training camp, Jordan seems to be healthy heading into his team's Week 1 game. After giving Dalton Shultz a $9 million contract during the offseason, the Texans have some incentive to funnel targets in that direction at the expense of Jordan.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Jordan (hamstring) participated in practice Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jordan dealt with a hamstring injury during most of training camp, but it was encouraging to see him back at practice Wednesday. He'll have a week and a half to return to full health ahead of the Texans' regular-season opener in Baltimore on Sept. 10, but his availability for that game isn't yet clear.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Sitting out practice
Rotowire
Jordan (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan continues to deal with a hamstring injury that has kept him on the sidelines for a large chunk of camp, including both of the team's preseason contests. He'll continue to work to get healthy with the team's season opener just over two weeks away.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Jordan' (hamstring) isn't slated to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
With Jordan still dealing with a hamstring issue, his next chance to see game action will occur Saturday, Aug. 19 against the Dolphins. Once he's back in action, Jordan will look to carve out a role in a Houston tight end corps that also includes Dalton Schultz and Teagan Quitoriano (quadriceps).

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Jordan's early exit from Sunday's practice was due to a hamstring injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan and Dalton Schultz (ribs) both left practice Sunday, while Teagan Quitoriano (quadriceps) began training camp on the active/PUP list, leaving the Texans thin at tight end. Soft-tissue injuries have a tendency to linger, so Houston will likely take a cautious approach with Jordan to ensure he's healthy before the Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Ravens.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Leaves practice early
Rotowire
Jordan left Sunday's practice early with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan was spotted limping to the sidelines during Sunday's practice and didn't return, so it appears he's dealing with a lower-body issue. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but if he's forced to miss additional time, Eric Tomlinson and Andrew Beck would presumably get more looks behind Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: One catch in loss
Rotowire
Jordan caught one of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville.
He was more involved with Teagan Quitoriano (knee) inactive, but there wasn't much happening in the passing attack, which was held under 200 passing yards for the eighth time. Jordan entered the game with just three targets over the previous three weeks.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Snags two catches in win
Rotowire
Jordan caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Saturday's 19-14 win over Tennessee.
Jordan, who played just five snaps the previous week, was on the field for 36 snaps after Teagan Quitoriano left with a knee injury. Houston had made O.J. Howard inactive, which resulted Jordan receiving his most playing time since Week 9.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Five snaps in loss
Rotowire
Jordan caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Houston's top two wideouts were sidelined, so the team's tight ends were prominent in the loss with six red-zone targets and two touchdowns, but Jordan didn't get much of a cut. He played just five snaps and has seen a total of 42 over the last three games since returning from a three-week stint as a healthy scratch. Jordan held much promise entering the season after being a productive receiver over the second half of 2021, but he doesn't fit in offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's scheme, which requires blocking tight ends to enable an effective rushing attack.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to active roster
Rotowire
Jordan caught four of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to Cleveland.
Week 13 marked the first time in four weeks that Jordan was part of the active roster. After being a healthy inactive for three weeks, Jordan played 24 snaps and was heavily involved as a target. O.J. Howard was made inactive, clearing the way for Jordan's return. While it remains uncertain why Jordan was inactive the previous three weeks, it's assumed his failings as a blocker played a role in the decision.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Not playing once again
Rotowire
Jordan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jordan is now in line to miss his second consecutive contest due to a coach's decision. In his absence, Jordan Akins, O.J. Howard and Teagan Quitoriano are slated to handle Houston's tight end duties Sunday versus Washington.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Healthy scratch for Week 10
Rotowire
Jordan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Despite leading all Texans tight ends in the Week 9 loss to the Eagles by playing 63 percent of the snaps on offense, Jordan will find himself out of the game plan entirely Sunday as a healthy inactive. The second-year player hasn't lived up to his billing as the Texans' best pass-catching tight end since he made his return to the lineup Week 7 after a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain. In those three contests, Jordan mustered a measly 3-24-0 receiving line on 11 targets. He now looks to have been pushed out of the tight-end rotation by rookie Teagan Quitoriano, who scored a touchdown on his lone reception in his NFL debut last week. Expect the Texans to run a three-man committee at the position Sunday that will also include O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Active in Week 7
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Raiders, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.
The second-year tight end will therefore be active for the first time since Week 2 after finally overcoming his ankle issue. His return will make the Texans' tight end picture even murkier, as O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins remain on hand as well for snaps at the position.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Status in question for Week 7
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
Jordan has been tending to an ankle issue since Week 2 prep and hasn't played since that game in Denver, but he may be poised for a return after capping this week with back-to-back full practices. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, and if Jordan is active he'll have to contend for targets with fellow tight ends O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to practice after bye
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) took part in practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jordan missed three straight contests leading up to Houston's Week 6 bye, but his return to the field Wednesday in a limited capacity is a step in the right direction. Given his lengthy absence, he'll likely have to log at least one full practice Thursday and/or Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday in Las Vegas. Regardless, when available, Jordan could challenge O.J. Howard for the top spot on the depth chart at tight end.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Remains out this week
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
With Jordan out again, look for O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins (a likely practice squad elevation) to lead the Texans' tight end corps against Jacksonville. That's an arrangement that led to Howard catching two of his five targets for 27 yards and Akins catching both of his targets for 33 yards in last weekend's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) isn't practicing Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jordan hasn't practiced since tweaking his ankle in the Texans' 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 2 and looks to be trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday in Jacksonville. Before the Texans formally decide on his status for the weekend, they'll wait and see if Jordan can fit in any on-field work Friday. With Pharaoh Brown having since been released and Jordan looking unlikely to be available Week 5, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins look set to split reps at tight end against the Jaguars.
