Irv Smith Injury: Absent with hand injury

Published on August 12, 2025

Smith (hand) did not practice Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Smith didn't play in the Texans' preseason opener against the Vikings this past Saturday. With Brevin Jordan (knee) suddenly done for the year, there's a spot open in Houston's tight end room behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover. Smith is competing with Luke Lachey and Dalton Keene.
