Texans sign veteran receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones

On August 21, the Houston Texans added veterans Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones to strengthen their wide receiver corps. This decision comes after second-year receiver Jayden Higgins was lost for the season due to a torn ACL sustained during a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders. Shepard and Jones must quickly demonstrate their value in practice as the Texans have only one preseason game remaining before final roster cuts. Their inclusion adds depth to a receiving group that features players like Nico Collins and Tank Dell, both dealing with their own injury concerns.
