RB cut from 53-man roster and placed on practice squad; identified as a roster snub despite being homegrown talent. Vulnerable to being claimed by other teams off the practice squad, as any franchise can add him to their 53-man roster.NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026
Three consecutive years of failing to make the 53-man roster but being added to the practice squad; the source expects he will see NFL action in 2025 for the third year in a row, indicating a pattern of roster churn and eventual playing time.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Jordan is injured and hasn't proven enough to hold down the RB3 spot without question. However, the team likes him enough to keep him around and has not designated him for injured reserve, projecting him to make the 53-man roster.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026
RB remains injured and was inactive for the Raiders preseason game, putting him 'in dire straits entering the final ten days before cut day on August 30th' according to the source.NegativeRoleAug 13, 2026
Jordan may not be healthy enough to play this preseason game. His breakout performance against Arizona last year (101 rushing yards) cannot be a one-hit-wonder; he needs steadier production for the staff to trust him as part of the RB rotation rather than viewing him as only a special teams option. His acceleration and short area quickness have shown up throughout camp. His biggest competition is from Noah Whittington, whose downhill running style fits what the Texans are looking for. If healthy, Jordan should receive the lion's share of carries in the first half.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
Jawhar Jordan offers the most Woody Marks-like rushing style as a zone-based rusher that excels at punching the hole once it opens; he was called up from the practice squad in week 15 to fill in for an injured Marks and ran all over the Arizona Cardinals, suggesting he can plug right into the offense if Marks were unavailable. He is competing for the third running back spot.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
RB competes with British Brooks and rookie Noah Whittington for the final running back role in a light Houston backfield.NegativeDepth ChartJul 22, 2026
Jawhar Jordan faces direct roster competition from British Brooks for the third running back spot. If Brooks successfully converts to a full-time running back role following his 17-pound weight loss, he will compete directly with Jordan for a roster spot on a team that is likely to keep 7 total players between running back and tight end positions.
