## 2026 Outlook

Cade Stover enters 2026 fully recovered from hernia surgery, participating in the Texans' full spring conditioning program. In Year 2, he logged a 40% snap share despite breaking his foot in Week 1 of 2025 (which grew to approximately 45% share despite the injury), indicating increasing role expectations. However, his passing-game role remains limited with just 38 career targets through two seasons. The Texans are experimenting with Stover at fullback, a part-time role that could increase his playing time if he can catch on in that capacity. With Dalton Schultz, Foster Moreau, Marlin Klein, and Brevin Jordan also in the TE room, Stover will need to carve out a specific role—likely as a run-blocking specialist—to secure playing time in 2026 (per Texans TE Cade Stover Fully Recovered From Hernia Surgery).

## Role / Depth Chart

Run-blocking tight end, experimenting with fullback snaps. Expected to play 40-45% of snaps when active, primarily in heavy package and run situations.

## Injury Status

Hernia surgery (fully recovered as of May 2026). Previous knee injury from 2025 divisional round loss did not require surgery.
