Back with Houston
The Texans signed Jordan to the practice squad Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The Texans cut Jordan from the practice squad in late October, but the second-year pro has opted to return to Houston. He has yet to appear in a regular-season game since the Texans selected him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Out in Houston
Jordan was cut from the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 sixth-round pick from Louisville landed with the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, the team has now decided to move in another direction. Jordan has yet to make his NFL debut after posting 1,374 total yards and 14 touchdowns on 202 touches during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Remaining with Houston on PS
The Texans signed Jordan to their practice squad Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jordan was featured heavily by the Texans during the preseason slate, so it's no surprise that he's sticking with the team on the practice squad. The 26-year-old has yet to see any regular-season action after Houston selected him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Aug 26, 2025
Doesn't make roster
Houston waived Jordan on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Jordan was a sixth-round selection by the Texans in the 2024 NFL Draft. He didn't get into any regular-season games last year, as he spent most of the campaign on Houston's practice squad. Jordan was the Texans' leading rusher during the preseason slate, tallying 88 yards on 24 carries, though that's an average of just 3.7 YPC. He's a logical candidate for the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Leads backs in preseason finale
Jordan had 13 carries for 55 yards in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
All of Jordan's work came during the second half of the preseason finale, which indicates the Texans are unlikely to grant him a spot on the initial 53-man roster. There may be an available spot if Joe Mixon (ankle) opens the regular season on the non-football injury list, but that opening could go to British Brooks, who brings versatility on special teams and an ability to play fullback.

Inks new deal with Houston
The Texans signed Jordan to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
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.
Oct 22, 2024
Brought back by Houston
The Texans signed Jordan (oblique) to the practice squad Tuesday.
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.

Reaches injury settlement
The Texans waived Jordan (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
ordan 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.
Aug 28, 2024
Reverts to IR
Jordan (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The running back plans to do an injury settlement with the Texans, giving him a chance to play in 2024 if he catches on with another team. 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.
Aug 27, 2024
Let go by Houston
Jordan (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Texans on Tuesday.
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.
Aug 10, 2024
Leading rusher Friday
Jordan had six carries for 22 yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Jordan led the Texans in rushing, but it was all accumulated in the fourth quarter, which indicates Jordan has 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.
Aug 2, 2024
Used as returner
Jordan logged three carries for five yards and returned one kickoff for 15 yards in Thursday's 21-17 preseason loss to Chicago.
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.

Expected to play Thursday
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.
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.
