Overview

  • KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson reported the All-Pro cornerback is active for Houston’s home game against Tennessee.
  • Stingley had been listed as questionable with an oblique injury after leaving the Week 3 loss to the Jaguars.
  • He did not practice during the week and had been expected to test his readiness before kickoff.
  • Houston elevated defensive backs Myles Bryant and D'Angelo Ross on Saturday to reinforce a thin secondary.
  • The secondary has been depleted with Jaylin Smith on injured reserve, C.J. Gardner-Johnson released, and Jimmie Ward on the PUP list, and Stingley enters this season on a new three-year extension.
