Houston Texans assign new jersey numbers to five players for 2026 season

Summary

As the Houston Texans finalize their roster for the 2026 season, five players have received new jersey assignments. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will wear No. 14, a change prompted by the return of tight end Brevin Jordan. Wide receiver Jared Wayne switched from No. 89 to No. 17, marking his third number change in as many years. Defensive end Sebastian Harsh transitioned to No. 54 following the trade of Jarrett Patterson, while center Evan Brown returned to No. 63. Additionally, offensive tackle Nathan Thomas, recently acquired from the Dallas Cowboys, has been assigned No. 78. Most players retained their preseason jersey numbers, but these adjustments reflect recent roster turnover and team re-signings ahead of the season opener.
