Watch: WR Stefon Diggs makes first catch as member of Texans

After a week of the duo’s connection growing, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with former All-Pro receiver Stefon Diggs in a live game.

Stroud hit Diggs on a short route that gained nine yards to convert a third-and-two. The catch marked Diggs’ first since being acquired by the Texans in the offseason.

Houston’s risk not pay off the drive, eventually turning it over on downs in the red zone. Stroud was an effective 6-for-9 for 57 yards, connecting with four different targets.

Diggs came to Houston in an offseason trade that saw the Texans send a 2025 second-round pick in exchange for the Pro Bowl caliber wideout.
