Dalton Schultz, the tight end for the Houston Texans, sat out all three preseason games. Along with Schultz, wide receiver Nico Collins and running back David Montgomery were also absent. Quarterback C.J. Stroud had limited playing time during the matchup against the Raiders on August 20.
Schultz is coming off a successful 2025 regular season, where he recorded a career-high 82 receptions and 777 receiving yards, marking a notable improvement from his 2021 season with the Cowboys, where he achieved 808 yards.
With Jayden Higgins out for the entire 2026 season due to a knee injury and Tank Dell starting the season on injured reserve, Schultz and Collins are anticipated to be vital targets for Stroud as the season progresses.
Further information about the Texans' roster and injury status remains unclear.
