Jaylin Noel’s Turf Toe Injury Adds Another Problem for the Texans’ Offense

The Houston Texans had just started to get their receiving room on track with the trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. , and getting Tank Dell back from his knee injury.

While things were progressing they will now need to adjust again as after the Texans’ loss to the New York Giants in Week 7, Jaylin Noel suffered a turf toe injury and was seen wearing a boot in the game.

DeMeco Ryans said Jaylin Noel has a turf toe injury.

Jaylin Noel Was Giving Houston a Big-Play Option

Entering Week 7, Noel has 17 catches for 334 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 19.6 yards per reception. Noel was producing substantial yards without needing an immense volume of receptions, giving CJ Stroud another capable player who could change possessions.

If Noel misses time, Houston will need another wide receiver to step up further.
