Cade Stover

The Texans actually ran the ball more in the red zone in this one, getting two touchdowns from Nick Chubb and Nico Collins on the edge. Stroud's first half was rather uneven, as he was penalized for attempting a pass after he went past the line of scrimmage and also was picked off in the second quarter while throwing into double coverage deep. He was 9-of-13 for 123 yards after halftime, leading the Texans on one touchdown drive, one field-goal drive, and one whatever-the-hell-it-is when you watch Cade Stover attempt two tush pushes rather than attempt a field goal to take a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Stroud will remain on the QB2 line against the Chiefs in Week 14, but the Chiefs are good against the run and there should be passing volume for Stroud in the matchup.

The Texans offense is getting some reinforcement at the tight end position this weekend. After suffering a broken foot in Houston’s season opener, tight end Cade Stover has been activated off of injured reserve, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. Full back Jakob Johnson will join Stover as an activation from IR today, according to […]

Schultz was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday, but it is clear the Texans trust him enough to manage him in practices. He'll be a low-end TE1 against the Titans this week. Elsewhere in Texans TE land, Cade Stover (foot) is questionable in his first week of practices since opening his 21-day window, but with Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) officially out, Stover seems to be likely to suit up.
