Texans' Cade Stover: Needs surgery, out for playoffs
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Tuesday that Stover sustained a fractured collarbone in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers and will require season-ending surgery, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Teagan Quitoriano (calf) could be reinstated from IR later this week to give the Texans a third option at tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Irv Smith for Saturday's divisional-round game against Kansas City. Stover recorded four catches for 28 yards on four targets in the win over the Chargers and finished the regular season with a 15-133-1 receiving line on 22 targets over 15 appearances.

Texans' Cade Stover: Sent to injured reserve
The Texans placed Stover on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a broken collarbone in Saturday's 32-12 wild-card win over the Chargers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The rookie tight end played 36 offensive snaps -- his second-most of the season -- and recorded four catches for 28 yards on four targets in Saturday's win, but he appears to have suffered the injury at some point along the way. Primarily used as a blocker during his rookie campaign, Stover recorded 15 receptions for 133 yards and one touchdown during the regular season. Teagan Quitoriano (calf) was recently designated for return from IR and could be activated ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Chiefs. For the time being, however, the Texans are left with starter Dalton Schultz and Irv Smith as the lone healthy tight ends on the roster.

Texans' Cade Stover: Four catches in win
Stover caught four of four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round.
Stover set season highs in catches and yards in the playoff game. He finished with more catches and yards than starter Dalton Schultz (two catches, 23 yards). Stover's playing time could take a hit if Teagan Quitoriano (calf) is activated off injured reserve for next week's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City.

Texans' Cade Stover: Back to full health
Stover did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-14 win over Tennessee in Week 18.
Stover had missed Weeks 15 and 16 while recovering from an appendectomy but has since returned. He played a less-than-normal 19 snaps in his first game back and was at his usual level (36 snaps) for the regular-season finale. The rookie tight end gained a lot of experience in 2024 after Brevin Jordan (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL injury in Week 2. When healthy, Stover played 42.1 percent of the offensive snaps. That exposure, however, didn't lead to much production. Stover finished with 15 catches, 22 targets, 133 yards and one touchdown over 15 games played. There isn't expected to be much change at the position group next season; both Jordan and starting tight end Dalton Schultz are under contract for 2025.

Texans' Cade Stover: Upgrades to full practice
Stover (appendix) was a full participant in Monday's practice.
Stover has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy, but he's poised to return for Wednesday's Christmas Day game versus Baltimore. Stover has a 14-132-1 receiving line on 20 targets behind Dalton Schultz this season.

Texans' Cade Stover: Estimated as limited Sunday
Stover (appendix) was listed as a limited practice participant on Sunday's estimated report, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Stover underwent an emergency appendectomy Dec. 14, which has forced him to be sidelined for the Texans' last two games. Houston didn't practice Sunday, so his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Wednesday's game against the Ravens. Irv Smith was signed to the Texans' active roster this past Friday, and he would serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Schultz if Stover isn't able to play on Christmas Day.

Texans' Cade Stover: Ruled out for Week 16
Stover (appendix) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.
Stover will be sidelined for a second straight game after undergoing an emergency appendectomy this past Saturday. It's unclear whether he'll be able to progress in his recovery enough to play against the Ravens on Christmas Day. With no other healthy tight end on the active roster outside of starter Dalton Schultz, the Texans will likely elevate Irv Smith from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's game due to Stover's injury.
