Stover is playing in two-tight-end sets and has impressed with his blocking; the source notes 'Stover with an excellent block on the edge of the line against a far bigger DE to spark a big run game' and questions why he is playing so late into the preseason game, suggesting he is a notable contributor.PositiveDepth ChartAug 13, 2026
Stover leapfrogged Brevin Jordan during the first week of training camp. Jordan is sidelined with a short-term injury, offering Stover a unique opportunity to separate himself from Jordan on the depth chart. With veterans Dalton Schultz and Foster Moreau likely not participating in the preseason game, Stover will have the opportunity to run with the first string offense.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026
Cade Stover is the clear odd one out at tight end and is cut from the 53-man roster. The source would not be surprised if Houston trades him in the preseason for a late-round pick and doubts Houston can stash him on their practice squad.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Cade Stover, a thicker version of Dalton Schultz, has not yet metastasized into a consistent blocker in the NFL nor found an effective role on the Texans team; his foot injury and underwhelming performances following his return from I.R. last year made the competition for the #2 TE spot more contested than expected.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
TE faces significant roster pressure after the Texans signed Foster Moreau and drafted Marlin Klein; the numbers don't work in Stover's favor as five TEs is extremely rare for any team to keep. He must define his role to keep his hopes alive in a crowded position room.NegativeDepth ChartJul 22, 2026
Stover is listed as a first four out at tight end. The source notes both Cade Stover and Brevin Jordan have no intention of falling down the depth chart or waiting on the practice squad, entering healthy and ready to compete. Barring injury, only two of the three tight ends (Stover, Jordan, Klein) are slated to make the initial 53-man roster, with Jordan getting the nod over Stover as Jordan's ceiling has been significantly higher than what Stover has demonstrated through two seasons.
