Houston Texans star Brevin Jordan will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL.
Jordan was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday after suffering the injury in Sunday night’s win over the Chicago Bears.
He had managed two catches for seven yards in the Texans’ first two games of the season after playing back-up to Dalton Schulz.
The Texans, who have a star-studded roster this season, selected Jordan with a fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft.
The injury comes at a horrendous time for Jordan, who is in the final year of his rookie contract and was aiming to prove his worth to head coach DeMeco Ryans.

‘If you want to talk about the heartbeat of this team, it’s just who he is,’ quarterback C.J. Stroud said this week.
‘Somebody who loves hard and he loves everyone in this building. He loves ball and I think he was really getting his momentum on just who he wanted to be in this league and how he wanted to approach practice.
‘Praying for him and I know he’s a faith-based man and God makes no mistakes and he knows that, so I’m not worried about him but I am going to be a brother that he can lean on.
‘I love Brev and he is my brother for the rest of my life. I know that he’ll be back soon and he’ll do great thing when he comes back.’
Head coach Ryans added: ”It’s really heartbreaking losing Brevin. He was on his way to a breakout year. I feel sorry for Brevin and the injury.
‘Any time these guys go through these injuries, it’s always tough, so first thing first, it’s about Brevin and him just attacking rehab the right way and getting back as soon as he can.’
