Texans Sign Zay Jones and Sterling Shepard, Place K.C. Ossai on IR
The Texans have officially added wide receivers Zay Jones and Sterling Shepard to their roster, as announced on Saturday afternoon. This move comes after Jayden Higgins suffered a torn ACL earlier this week.
Jones, who recorded 12 catches for 83 yards with the Cardinals last season, has previously played for the Jaguars, Raiders, and Bills. Shepard, who spent the last two seasons with the Buccaneers, had 39 catches for 371 yards and a touchdown in 2025, following an eight-year stint with the Giants.
In addition to the signings, the Texans placed defensive end K.C. Ossai on injured reserve. Ossai had been with the Texans during training camp last year and was on Miami’s practice squad during the regular season.
