Texans Waive Jawhar Jordan With Injury Settlement
The Houston Texans reached injury settlements with rookie ...
The Houston Texans made several cuts that will have fantasy implications for the 2024 NFL Season.
Starting with the running back room, the Texans chose to cut Jawhar Jordan and keep Cam Akers on the team. Akers shined in the preseason and Dameon Pierce struggled, so there’s ambiguity behind Mixon on who will be the RB2. This uncertainty makes Akers worth rostering in deeper leagues.
The Texans wide receiver room had some significant cuts in the form of Noah Brown and Ben Skowronek. This leaves John Metchie along with Xavier Hutchinson as the two receivers who will complete for playing time behind Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell. Those big 3 make Metchie and Hutchinson players who shouldn’t be considered fantasy relevant outside of injuries taking place.
The tight end room also had an interesting move with Teagan Quitoriano being cut, which gives Cade Stover an easier route to seeing the field in 2024. While Stover will be behind Dalton Schultz and battling Brevin Jordan for playing time to start the season, he has history with C.J. Stroud from Ohio State and is a must-roster in dynasty leagues.

Louisville Running Back Jawhar Jordan participates at NFL Combine
Jawhar Jordan stand at 5’9″ and 193 pounds at running back. He measures well below the size NFL teams look for in a running back, even though he had a good senior year at Louisville. He ran for over 1,100 yards and 13 touchdowns, he also caught 21 passes out of the backfield.
Jordan at the combine did interviews, where he models his game around some other pass catching back in likes of Alvin Kamara and Jahmir Gibbs. He also participated in the 40 yard dash where he was clocked at 4.56. He is also coming back from an injured hamstring at the end of his college career. Some believe he was going to run low 4.4s, he will have to show more at his pro day to help with his draft stock, otherwise looks to be late to undrafted selection.
