Who Should I Start? Jawhar Jordan or Keilan Robinson

Tuesday, September 3, 7:46 PM

The Houston Texans reached injury settlements with rookie running back Jawhar Jordan (oblique) and defensive tackle Pheldarius Payne (hamstring) on Tuesday, waiving them from Injured Reserve. Jordan was taken in the sixth round this past April out of Louisville by the Texans, but he won't make his NFL debut in Houston. The 25-year-old will need to prove his healthy before potentially joining another organization, most likely on the practice squad. Jordan lacks size and physicality, but he could eventually develop into a third-down back somewhere if he can stay healthy because of his vision on the field and his blocking skills in pass protection. Payne, 24, is expected to join the team's practice squad after reaching an injury settlement. He suffered his hamstring injury in the team's preseason finale.

The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed running back Keilan Robinson off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday. The Jags decided to move on from Robinson after drafting him in the fifth round of last year's draft. Robinson basically only played special teams, but deserves a chance to prove himself as an offensive player. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a spot in camp, but it's possible he makes the team as a special teams player. In a corresponding move, wide receiver Ife Adeyi has been waived by the organization.
