DeMeco Ryans: We’re excited to see who’s next at receiver

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans opened his press conference on Wednesday with announce that Stefon Diggs will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL and said the news is “definitely a blow” to the team’s offense.

Later in the press conference, Ryan’s attention turned to how the team will move forward at the receiver spot. Nico Collins will miss at least one more game before he is eligible to come off injured reserve, so the team is missing two players who were a big part of their plans in the passing game.

The trade deadline is a week away, which led Ryans to ask if he feels the need to expand the group as they enter the second half of the season. Ryans didn’t make it sound like that was a priority.

“We love the guys we have and our guys have been here,” Ryans said. “They have worked, understand how we do things and what we do. We are curious who will take the next step.”

Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Steven Sims are the recipients of the 53-man roster in Houston. Dell has 24 catches and Hutchinson, Woods and Metchie have combined for 12 catches this season.
