Derek

Stingley Jr.

Stingley will see his first action since Week 2 and could see a lot of Ja’Marr Chase this weekend. His return is a welcomed one for the Texans, who are fresh off a back-and-forth matchup with the Buccaneers last week. The Texans declared S Jimmie Ward, TE Brevin Jordan, WR Nico Collins, RB Dameon Pierce, LB Jake Hansen, LB Henry To’oTo’o, and FB Andrew Beck inactive for Week 10.

Stingley returns after practicing fully the last two days. The second-year corner was placed on IR in Week 2, missing seven games with a hamstring injury. Houston released OL Austin Deculus to clear a spot for Stingley.

The Ravens opened Stingley’s 21-day practice window in Week 9. The second-year corner practiced fully the last two days, giving him a chance to return this week. Stingley, the No. 3 pick of the 2022 draft, is expected to be limited to base sets if active.

The move opens up Stingley’s 21-day practice window, and he will practice on Wednesday for the first time since being placed on IR before Week 3. Through two weeks, the former LSU Tiger earned a 69.1 PFF coverage grade while allowing two catches for 63 yards on four targets. His eventual return will be a big boost to this Texans defense.

Pitre was injured in the Texans’ season opener against the Ravens and is now slated to miss his second-consecutive game. The start safety was replayed by M.J. Stewart and DeAndre Houston-Carson last week, as the two figure to both see action again this week. The Texans also ruled out LB Denzel Perryman (hand/wrist) and CB Derek Stingley (hamstring).

According to Wilson, it’s possible the Texans place Stingley on injured reserve, which would require him to sit out a minimum of four games. Stingley saw his 2022 come to an end late last season due to a hamstring injury, but we don’t have word on whether or not this is the same hamstring as last time. Through two weeks, the former LSU Tiger has earned a 69.1 PFF coverage grade while allowing two catches for 63 yards on four targets. The team may wait until Saturday’s deadline to decide whether or not to place him on injured reserve.

Stingley had been battling a hamstring injury since Week 11 and ultimately found himself on the injured reserve, ending his season. The battered Texans limp into a Week 15 matchup with the Chiefs with multiple key starters out.

It’s the fifth straight missed game for Stingley, who hasn’t played since Week 10. The Texans will continue to start Desmond King and Tavierre Thomas with Stingley sidelined. Stingley hasn’t practiced in over a month and is unlikely to be back in Week 16. It’s possible the Texans shut him down for the season.

Stingley will miss a third straight game with a hamstring injury he picked up in practice last month. The rookie corner has been a big loss for the Texans in recent weeks. Houston’s coverage unit stands little chance this week against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.

Stingley could be headed for his fourth straight missed game as he recovers from a hamstring he hurt in practice last month. The rookie has been sorely missed in a Houston secondary that has been ripped by opposing quarterbacks over the past three weeks. Stingley likely won’t play in Week 14 against the Cowboys unless he can log a limited session Thursday and Friday.
