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.

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.
