Reports: Adam Shaheen fails physical, trade to Texans nixed

The Houston Texans are voiding this week’s trade with the Miami Dolphins after tight end Adam Shaheen failed a physical, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

The Dolphins dealt Shaheen and a 2023 seventh-round pick to the Texans on Tuesday in exchange for a sixth-round selection in 2023.

Shaheen, 27, reverts to the Miami roster. He had not missed any time in training camp but reportedly failed the physical due to a pre-existing knee injury.

He caught 12 passes for 110 yards in 12 games with Miami last season. A second-round pick by Chicago in 2017, Shaheen has 50 receptions for 509 yards and seven touchdowns in 55 games (25 starts) with the Bears (2017-19) and Dolphins.

Shaheen was listed fifth on the depth chart released last weekend by Miami. Houston was looking for depth after Antony Auclair sidelined by a knee injury.
