Bond is a true 2026 rookie still working his way up from the bottom after Houston spent a late sixth-round pick on him out of Boston College. Being waived and immediately stashed on the practice squad is a common outcome for a Day 3 receiver, and his game-day elevations so far suggest the staff wants to keep developing him rather than give up on the pick.
Strengths: A drafted rookie receiver Houston values enough to keep active-roster-adjacent via repeated practice squad elevations.
Weaknesses: Was cut outright at final roster cuts and has not yet cracked the true 53-man roster as a receiver.
