The Texans will get their first look at rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins this afternoon, as he tries to impress the coaching staff. <\/p>\n

Higgins was selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, as Houston looked to improve their wide receiver room. He ended his final collegiate season with nearly 1,200 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, so he will try to continue his success in the NFL. <\/p>\n

The Vikings will get to see their quarterback J.J. McCarthy in action today, as he returns from a season-ending injury. He showcased his talent in the preseason last year, so he will look to continue his great play this afternoon. <\/p>\n

Notably, McCarthy threw two touchdown passes in his preseason debut last year. <\/p>\n
