C.J. Stroud Facing Pass-Catcher Shortage for Houston Texans' Week 2

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud may be forced to operate with a depleted receiving corps in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With top target Nico Collins in jeopardy due to a hamstring injury and rookie Jayden Higgins out with a torn ACL, Stroud must rely heavily on Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jaylin Noel, who combined for just six catches in Houston's Week 1 opening loss to Buffalo.
