Texans' Cade Stover: One reception in win
Rotowire
Stover caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4.
Stover's 27-yard catch moved the Texans to midfield on a drive that eventually resulted in the team's first touchdown. Brevin Jordan's season-ending knee injury has elevated Stover to the No. 2 tight end behind veteran Dalton Schultz. The rookie tight end has two catches on two targets for 45 yards.

Texans' Cade Stover: Sticks around after cutdown day
Rotowire
Stover made the Texans' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stover's healthy status likely played a role in his winning a roster spot, as the Texans waived/injured fellow tight end Teagan Quitoriano (calf) and released fullback/tight end Andrew Beck, who was dogged by a calf injury during the preseason. Stover currently lines up as the third tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan.

Texans' Cade Stover: Quiet afternoon
Rotowire
Stover was targeted once in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.
Stover had a quiet afternoon after shining a week ago. He and Dalton Keene played 22 snaps behind the top two tight ends, Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan. Stover and Keene are angling for the third spot on the depth chart, while Teagan Quitoriano (calf) has been unavailable.

Texans' Cade Stover: Shines in preseason win
Rotowire
Stover caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.
Stover was used early on and was a safety valve on one of C.J. Stroud's two completions. The tight end also bailed out Davis Mills later in the first half. Stover has caught five of seven targets for 58 yards through two preseason games. The Texans have injuries at tight end, as both Brevin Jordan (undisclosed) and Teagan Quitoriano (calf) did not suit up for the contest. That puts Stover, a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, in prime position to influence roster decisions.

Texans' Cade Stover: Three targets Thursday
Rotowire
Stover caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Thursday's 21-17 preseason loss to Chicago.
Stover was the lone healthy tight end remaining after Teagan Quitoriano was carted off the field during the second quarter with what appears to be a knee injury. Neither of the top two tight ends -- Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan -- suited up and Dalton Keene was unavailable due to a leg injury. Pending Quitoriano's evaluation, the Texans may look to add a tight end in the coming days. Stover, drafted in the fourth round out of Ohio State in 2024, has history with quarterback C.J. Stroud and should see ample opportunities during preseason contests.
