Houston Texans Safety Jalen Pitre Out for Season After Pectoral Surgery

The third-year defensive standout sustained the injury in Week 12 and will be placed on injured reserve, ending a strong 2024 campaign.

Jalen Pitre, a key defensive player for the Houston Texans, will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a pectoral injury requiring surgery.
The injury occurred during the first quarter of a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and a second medical opinion confirmed the need for surgery.
Pitre, who transitioned to nickel cornerback this season, had been excelling with 65 tackles, eight pass deflections, an interception, and six tackles for loss in 12 games.
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans described Pitre's absence as a significant loss, citing his versatility and playmaking ability on the field.
The AFC South-leading Texans will rely on Jimmie Ward to fill Pitre's role as they prepare to host the Miami Dolphins this Sunday.
