Bryant ended the 2025 regular season with two receptions for seven yards on six targets. The tight end participated in 12 contests, missing four due to an injured reserve stint caused by neck and shoulder issues.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant was mainly utilized as a blocking tight end for the Texans' offense and special teams throughout the 2025 regular season. In the postseason, the 27-year-old was able to show his receiving potential by logging three receptions for 21 yards on six targets in the AFC divisional round loss to the Patriots. Bryant will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, meaning the Texans will have to negotiate a new contract if they wish to maintain the tight end.

Bryant was not targeted over four snaps in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant returned from a four-game absence due to neck and shoulder injuries but served as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Schultz (53 snaps) and Cade Stover (41). With the position group at close to full strength, Bryant should settle into a depth role.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has been cleared to return Sunday from a four-game absence due to shoulder and neck injuries. The sixth-year pro will join Cade Stover as the Texans' backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz.

Bryant (neck) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has been sidelined since Week 11 and has the chance to return after a minimum stint on injured reserve. He remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, and his status will only become official shortly before the 1 pm ET kickoff.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant remains on injured reserve, where he was placed Nov. 15, but he can rejoin his teammates at practice. The Texans have 21 days to add Bryant back to the active roster, and such a move could occur prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Bryant's participation level in practice will provide insight on how close he is to returning to game action.

The Texans placed Bryant (neck/shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

While Bryant was placed on injured reserve, fellow tight end Cade Stover (foot) was activated from IR, and the latter will serve as the Texans' TE2 behind Dalton Schultz moving forward. Bryant will be required to miss at least four games while on IR, which makes Week 15 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 14 the earliest he can return. Luke Lachey is available off the practice squad should the Texans require more depth at tight end for as long as Bryant is on IR.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant was unable to practice all week due to neck and shoulder injuries, and the sixth-year pro will not be available for Sunday's AFC South tilt. Dalton Schultz (illness/shoulder) has been cleared to play against Tennessee, and Cade Stover (foot) could be activated from injured reserve to fill in as the TE2 in Bryant's absence. If Stover isn't activated, then the Texans would likely elevate Luke Lachey from the practice squad to be Schultz's backup.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's tight end room is in flux entering Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Bryant logged a second consecutive DNP, as did starting tight end Dalton Schultz (illness/shoulder). A third tight end, Cade Stover, has been designated to return from a broken foot and was a limited participant for the second straight day.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, the Texans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was a busy news day for Houston's tight ends. In addition to Bryant sitting out, starting TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was unable to go, and Cade Stover (foot) was designated to return and practiced for the first time since breaking his foot in the season opener.

Bryant (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old received the questionable tag due to a shoulder injury, but his full practice Friday put him on track to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Bryant has just two catches for seven yards this year and should continue to operate as Houston's No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.
