Texans tight end Cade Stover will miss today's game against the Dolphins after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. His absence is expected to provide a slight boost to fellow tight end Dalton Schultz, who has been more involved in the passing game recently.

Cade Stover, the rookie tight end for the Houston Texans, underwent an emergency appendectomy and will miss the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins. The Texans confirmed that Stover is recovering well after the surgery. Prior to the announcement, he was listed as questionable due to an illness.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. Despite not having any injury reported during or after the Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, Schultz's status will need to be monitored closely in the days leading up to the game. If he is unable to play, the Texans will rely on Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover at the tight end position, neither of whom are considered strong fantasy options.
