Houston Texans seek wide receiver options from Ravens, Patriots

The Houston Texans are actively exploring trade opportunities to acquire a wide receiver, reaching out to both the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots for potential targets. Following the season-ending knee injury to Jayden Higgins, the Texans are in need of a receiver similar in profile to Higgins. Available targets include Rashod Bateman from the Ravens and Kayshon Boutte from the Patriots, although trading either player poses challenges for their current teams. The Ravens already lack depth at receiver, while the Patriots’ decision to trade Boutte could leave them with insufficient backup options. As the Texans aim to bolster C.J. Stroud's supporting cast, assessing the availability of these players will be crucial in the coming days.
