Expected back soon
Noel (undisclosed), who was placed on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, is dealing with a short-term issue, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Noel will seemingly be back at practice during the early stages of training camp, which is positive news as the 2025 third-rounder vies to secure the No. 3 wide receiver role in Houston. Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins appear solidified atop the depth chart, though Noel could have a chance so separate from Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell (knee), Lewis Bond and Justin Watson if he's able to impress during camp.
