Texans acquire Kayshon Boutte from Patriots ahead of NFL season

The Houston Texans have traded for wide receiver Kayshon Boutte from the New England Patriots. This move comes in response to Jayden Higgins' season-ending knee injury. Boutte, who recorded over 1,159 yards and nine touchdowns in three seasons, is expected to bolster the Texans' receiving corps as they embark on the 2026 NFL season. The Patriots receive safety Jaylen Reed and a future draft pick in return. The Texans are looking to enhance their offensive options as they prepare to open the season against the Buffalo Bills.
