HOU Jared Wayne
NFL player. Position: WR. Team: HOU.
Quick Facts
- Position: WR
- Team: HOU (Houston Texans)
- Status: Undrafted free agent, three-season practice squad member
2026 Outlook
Jared Wayne has been a staple of the Texans' practice squad for three seasons and is having a strong training camp. However, the team's recent signing of Kayshon Boutte and the presence of veterans Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones limit his path to the active roster. General manager Nick Caserio is exploring trade options for Wayne before roster cuts, looking to recoup value from the undrafted free agent rather than let him pass through waivers (per 5 players Texans could trade away before NFL roster cuts - Texans Wire).
