Injury status of Texans TE Cade Stover revealed

Cade Stover will undergo season-ending surgery following the Texans’ wild-card round win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Houston Texans rookie tight end Cade Stover’s 2024 season is officially over.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans revealed that Stover suffered a shoulder injury during Saturday’s wild-card round win over the Los Angeles Chargers and would require season-ending surgery.

The Texans placed the Ohio State product on the injured reserve.

According to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, Stover suffered a broken collarbone. He’s expected to be back for offseason workouts and should be at 100% before the start of OTAs.

A fourth-round pick, Stover caught 15 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown in 15 games. In Saturday’s wild-card round win, he caught four passes for 28 yards.

After waiving receiver Diontae Johnson, Houston must now fill two roster spots. In Stover’s place, veteran tight end Teagan Quitorinao should be the secondary option after returning to practice last week.

He’s been a reliable No. 3 option in the passing game and should see his role expand in the red zone. He hasn’t been added back to the 53-man roster, so its seems like one spot could be filled.

The Texans hit the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs this Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. CT. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN and ABC.
