The Texans signed Jordan to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan spent the majority of his 2024 campaign with Houston's practice squad after missing time with an oblique injury early in the season. The 2024 sixth-round pick from Louisville has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut, but he's likely to have the opportunity to compete for a depth role in the Texans' backfield as the offseason progresses.

The Texans signed Jordan (oblique) to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan was moved to the Texans' injured reserve after being waived with an injury designation at the end of training camp. He was set to miss the entire regular season, but the two sides were able to reach an injury settlement in early September. Jordan appears to be fully healthy from his oblique injury, and the rookie sixth-round pick will be available for a game-day elevation if the Texans need additional depth at running back.

The Texans waived Jordan (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan was selected by the Texans in the sixth round of the draft back in April but his tenure with the team has come to an end. The 25-year-old will focus on getting healthy and then look to catch on with another team.

Jordan (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, the running back plans to do an injury settlement with the Texans at some point, which would giving him a chance to play in 2024 once he's healthy. Jordan had 21 carries for 55 yards and five catches for 49 yards in four preseason appearances with Houston. The rookie was drafted in the sixth round by Houston back in April.

Jordan (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Texans on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Across his four preseason outings with the Texans, Jordan had 21 carries for 55 yards and added five catches on six targets for 49 yards. If he goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll revert to Houston's injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

Jordan had six carries for 22 yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan led the Texans in rushing, but it was all accumulated in the fourth quarter, which indicates a long climb to win a roster spot. He was used as a returner on kickoffs in the Hall of Fame Game last week but did not get that opportunity Friday.

Jordan logged three carries for five yards and returned one kickoff for 15 yards in Thursday's 21-17 preseason loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Houston's top two backs were held out of the game, giving Jordan, Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale opportunities to impress the coaching staff. Jordan also rotated in on the kickoff-return team with Steven Sims and Johnny Johnson. Ogunbowale is likely the leader among the three at running back given his experience in the system, but a return job could be winnable for Jordan.

Jordan and Dameon Pierce are expected to play extensively in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans plans to sit several key starters, including presumptive lead back Joe Mixon, who is dealing with hamstring injury. Wilson adds that Jordan has had a string of good practices, in which he's shown a knack as a pass-catching back. His background and feel of the zone-scheme rushing attack from his college days could push Pierce, who had difficulty adjusting to the offense in 2023.
