WR, Houston Texans and Stefon Diggs
Watch highlights of Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud during the 2024 NFL season. Watch highlights from the AFC Divisional Round matchup between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs. Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud's accuracy is 100 on sideline dime to tight end Dalton Schultz in fourth quarter for 18 yards.
In his first season with the Texans, Diggs caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns before tearing his ACL in October. At 31 years old and coming off an ACL tear, Diggs might not be in the prime of his career, but he is clearly valued by his Texans teammates.
Houston’s 10-7 record was as much a function of playing in a toothless AFC South as anything else. The Texans offense took a step backward after 2023’s emergence. C.J.

After the game, Texans' starting running back Joe Mixon called out former NFL head coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan. In a postgame Instagram live video, Mixon can be seen saying, "Smoking on that Rex Ryan bye-week pack," while puffing on a victory cigar. What exactly is going on between these two that led to Mixon calling out Ryan postgame?
Houston linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), right guard Shaq Mason (knee), offensive lineman Juice Scruggs (ankle) and wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) also were active. Woods did not practice all week and had been listed as questionable.
