The Houston Texans have had a great start to the 2024 NFL season, though they have not looked as dominant as many thought they would. Houston made headlines this offseason by adding several veterans including RB Joe Mixon, DE Danielle Hunter, and WR Stefon Diggs. Unfortunately, one of those players is done for the season after a tough injury update.

Texans WR Stefon Diggs suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Colts on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter previously reported that there were some troubling signs about Diggs' injury during a Monday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

“Everybody is hoping for the best with Stefon Diggs, but I think that there are some troubling signs here. The fact that it was a noncontact injury, and people have been nonresponsive about his status. Usually when you're reaching out to people and you're saying, ‘What's going on with him?' They'll say, ‘Oh, he's fine; he's okay.' Nobody's said to me, he's fine. We're waiting.”

This is obviously terrible news for a Texans offense that is already down Nico Collins. Houston is hopeful that Collins can return for a crucial Week 10 matchup against Detroit on Sunday Night Football.

Stefon Diggs logged 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns in 2024.

Diggs and Houston amended his contract before the season, removing future years and basically making it a one-year rental for Houston. Therefore, Diggs will be a free agent after the season.

It will be interesting to see where he lands next during the offseason.

The Houston Texans will need to rely on their wide receiver depth as they move on without Stefon Diggs. Thankfully, the Texans have several depth players to choose from.

Until Nico Collins returns, the Texans' top wide receivers include Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, and veteran Robert Woods. They also have John Metchie III and Steven Sims in reserve.

Credit GM Nick Caserio for setting Houston up with a ton of depth at an important position. Losing Diggs for the season still hurts, but it is not a season-altering injury like it might be on some other teams.

The Texans also have running back Joe Mixon and tight end Dalton Schultz to rely on for offensive weapons. QB C.J. Stroud still has plenty of weapons he can use to help the Texans win football games down the stretch.

The Texans are 6-2 heading into Week 9 and are in the thick of the AFC playoff race.

Next up for the Texans is a Week 9 matchup against the Jets on Halloween.
