Brevin Jordan has not played in 2025, but he will not be changing teams this offseason. The veteran tight end remains in the Texans’ plans for next year. 
Jordan and the Texans have agreed to a one-year extension, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. As a result, he will not reach free agency during the spring. Instead, Jordan will be able to compete for a role upon returning to full health.
A 2024 ACL tear limited the former fifth-rounder to just two games that season. Jordan managed to recover in time for training camp this past summer, but a torn patellar tendon suffered in practice resulted in the Texans placing him on injured reserve. The timing of that move ensured he would be sidelined for the entire campaign. Houston is confident Jordan will be able to contribute in 2026, however. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports the recovery process has gone to plan so far.
Jordan, 25, played out his rookie contract with the Texans, logging a rotational role on offense during that time. The Miami product did not serve as a consistent presence in the passing game, but his work as a run blocker helped lead to a one-year extension being worked out almost exactly one year ago. That 2024 pact was worth $2.1MM and included $850K guaranteed. It certainly stands to reason this new deal will be worth less on both counts.
Injuries at the tight end spot have been an issue for Houston during much of this season, although Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover are healthy at the moment. Those two will be counted on to lead the way at the position as the Texans aim to continue their five-game winning streak. Top spot in the AFC South is possible despite the team’s 0-3 start to the year. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, Jordan will remain in the fold through to 2026.
