Vikings placed WR Lestar Jean on injured reserve, ending his season. Jean went unclaimed on waivers after being released with an injury designation. He'll now miss the entire 2014 season on I.R. Jean has appeared in 27 games over the last two seasons, catching 10 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown.

Vikings waived/injured WR Lestar Jean. The former Texan should go unclaimed on waivers, reverting to injured reserve. A 2011 undrafted free agent, Jean has always shined in pad-less practices, but has struggled to stay healthy. He has just 10 catches across 27 career games.

Vikings signed WR Lestar Jean, formerly of the Texans. Jean (6-foot-3, 202) was a training camp and preseason star in 2011 before landing on injured reserve. He then caught six passes for 151 yards (25.2 YPR) and one score on 193 offensive snaps in 2012 before reeling in just four passes last season. Jean has been hyped before but it just doesn't appear to be there. He'll compete for a roster spot and contribute on special teams.

Free agent WR Lestar Jean is working out for the Dolphins Wednesday. Jean had a visit with the wideout-desperate Panthers a couple weeks ago and didn't get a contract. It's an awful sign. The former Texan has one catch in 25 career games.

Free agent WR Lestar Jean is visiting the Panthers on Thursday. The Panthers have already tapped the veteran receiver scrap heap in Jerricho Cotchery, and are now searching for younger bargains. A restricted free agent, Jean wasn't tendered a contract by the Texans. That should tell you where his career is at.

The Texans declined to tender restricted free agents WR Lestar Jean, OLB Bryan Braman, and DT Terrell McClain. Jean has been an annual preseason hype all-star, but his exhibition game success never translated to real game action and he was off scholarship following Houston's coaching staff change. Braman was a core special teams player.

Texans WR Lestar Jean finished the 2013 season with four receptions for 35 yards, appearing in 13 games. An annual preseason sleeper, Jean made no noise as a third-year pro beyond special teams, where he notched two tackles. Jean now enters restricted free agency with just ten career catches. We suspect the Texans will not extend him a tender, although that remains to be seen under a new coaching staff.

Coach Gary Kubiak said "we've got to find some other guys to produce" alongside Andre Johnson. The Texans tried to fill their wideout woes with three rookies last year. DeVier Posey was showing flashes but tore his Achilles' tendon in the playoffs, Keshawn Martin looks like a slot guy and Lestar Jean played on just 193 snaps all season. The Texans don't appear sold on any of them. After finally letting Kevin Walter go, they're widely expected to pursue a receiver early in next week's draft.

Lestar Jean caught two passes for 31 yards in Monday night's Week 14 loss to the Patriots. Jean was targeted five times on the night and seems to have bypassed struggling rookie Keshawn Martin as the team's No. 3 receiver. Jean possesses good size and runs like the wind, but he has unreliable hands. It showed on the opening drive, as he dropped his first target down the right sideline. Jean has six catches on the season.

Lestar Jean caught his lone target for a 54-yard touchdown in Week 13 against the Titans. Jean's score put the Texans on the board in the first quarter. It should have been a meager 10-yard gain, but Titans safety Michael Griffin took a bad angle and went for the bat-down. Jean then slipped down the sideline and took it to the house. It was just his fourth catch of the season.
