Will play against Indianapolis Stingley (oblique) does not have an injury designation against the Colts on Sunday.

Impact Stingley had his practice reps limited during Week 18 prep while nursing an oblique injury, but he was able to fade an injury tag after logging a full session Friday. The fourth-year pro has accumulated 24 tackles (16 solo), 10 pass defenses (two interceptions and a pick-six) and one forced fumble in 11 games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Logs limited practice Thursday Stingley (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Stingley was held out of Wednesday's practice while managing an oblique issue, but the fourth-year corner was able to log a limited session Thursday. Given that the Texans could still win the AFC South division title, Stingley would likely be available for Sunday's game against the Colts unless he were to suffer a setback. Friday's practice report will determine whether he enters Week 18 with an injury designation.

Held out of Wednesday's practice Stingley (oblique) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Stingley has managed to play through an oblique injury for each of the Texans' last two games, and with the AFC South title on the line, the fourth-year corner will likely play against the Colts on Sunday assuming he's cleared to do so, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stingley will have two more chances to return to practice and potentially avoid an injury designation heading into Week 18.

Impact Stingley has dealt with an oblique injury the last two games but suited up in each, playing a combined 98 percent of the defensive snaps. Houston can claim a third consecutive division title with a win and a Jacksonville loss. It could also slip to as low as seventh with a loss to the Colts on Sunday. If Stingley plays Week 18, it will be a second consecutive full regular season for the fourth-year cornerback, who missed a combined 14 games in his first two NFL campaigns.

Ready to face Chargers Stingley (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Stingley has gained clearance to play Week 17 after logging a DNP/LP/FP practice slate. The standout cornerback played through his oblique injury Week 16 versus the Raiders, but the issue didn't prevent him from handling 100 percent of defensive snaps or recording the first pick-six of his NFL career. He's set to handle his usual every-down role on the road against Los Angeles.

Green light to play vs. Vegas Stingley (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Stingley earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after working through an oblique injury during Week 16 prep, but he has progressed enough in his recovery over the weekend to play. The fourth-year cornerback has tallied 19 tackles (13 solo) and eight pass defenses (two interceptions) in the eight games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Leaning toward playing Week 16 Stingley (oblique), who is officially questionable to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday, is planning to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Stingley hurt his oblique last Sunday against Arizona and missed the Texans' first two practices this week. However, he logged a limited session Friday, which appears to be enough for him to take the field versus Las Vegas. Still, Stingley's status seems unlikely to be certain until Houston releases its list of inactives approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable to play Sunday Stingley (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

Nursing oblique injury Stingley (oblique) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Impact Stingley played fewer defensive snaps (55) than normally would have been expected in Week 15, but that could have been partly because of the lopsided nature of the contest. His activity at practice will be worth monitoring as the week continues leading up to Sunday's game versus the Raiders.
