Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans has changed his mind when it comes to playing time for Thursday’s preseason matchup with Las Vegas.
According to multiple reporters, the Texans will now rest their starters against the Raiders this week.
Ryans had previously said that he was planning to play the first unit. But Ryans now feels the starters got enough work in Tuesday’s joint practice.
It’s also notable that second-year receiver Jayden Higgins suffered a torn ACL during Tuesday’s session that will keep him sidelined for the season. Higgins tied for the team lead with six touchdown receptions as a rookie in 2025.
Kickoff between the Texans and Raiders is set for 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
