Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans spoke to reporters on Tuesday about wide receiver Jaylin Noel's season-ending injury. Noel, a rookie, caught a touchdown pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud during the team's October 18 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London. The Texans have not released specific details about the nature of the injury, but Ryans confirmed that Noel will miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season.
The loss of Noel removes a promising offensive weapon from Houston's roster as the team continues its campaign. Ryans emphasized the next-man-up mentality and expressed confidence in the remaining receivers to step up in Noel's absence.
