HOUSTON -- After tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz retired on Thursday at the age of 26 after suffering at least three concussions in 2017, the Houston Texans are without a No. 1 tight end.
While Fiedorowicz was on injured reserve at the beginning last season, the Texans primarily relied on tied ends Ryan Griffin and Stephen Anderson. Griffin suffered two concussions last year and was placed on injured reserve in November, while Anderson was inconsistent throughout the season.
Texans tight ends caught 53 percent of their targets last season, which was the worst in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
