Continues growth in new role Pitre had 74 tackles, 12 passes defensed and four interceptions over 14 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Pitre, who played safety his first two seasons in the NFL, enjoyed another strong season as a nickel corner. In some ways, he's a key piece to the NFL's top-ranked defense, because he hits like a linebacker and can cover (88.1 coverage grade). The Texans can roll with a 4-2-5 alignment, as they often did in 2025, while not being vulnerable when offenses go big and try to run the ball on Houston. The team recognized Pitre's value by locking him for a three-year extension prior to the 2025 season.

Part of smothering defense Pitre logged six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 20-10 win over Kansas City in Week 14.

Impact Pitre was prominent in the game which was dominated by Houston's defense. He was part of an effort that limited Travis Kelce (one catch, five targets, eight yards), who was a big reason why the Texans' 2024 season ended in the playoffs. Pitre also had the signature play of the game when he blew up Rashee Rice late in the third quarter. The cornerback followed that with an interception in the fourth quarter, one of three picks thrown by Kanas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Since returning from a three-game absence due to a concussion in Week 13, Pitre has nine tackles (five solo) and four passes defensed.

Impact Pitre had missed the Texans' last three games after sustaining a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Broncos. The fourth-year pro is an integral part of Houston's defense, recording 46 total tackles and five passes defensed, including three interceptions, across just eight appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to play as the Texans' top slot defender in Sunday's divisional clash.

Ruled out for TNF Coach DeMeco Ryans said Pitre (concussion) will not play in Thursday night's game against the Bills, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pitre will miss his third straight contest due to the concussion, and the short week didn't help, as Ryans noted it wasn't enough time for Pitre to clear the protocol. Myles Bryant should again handle an expanded role in the Texans' secondary Thursday night.

Estimated as limited Monday The Texans listed Pitre (concussion) as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated report.

Impact Pitre has missed the Texans' last two games while in the league's concussion protocol. Even if he were to log a full practice over the next two days, he would have to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play against the Bills on Thursday. Myles Bryant will continue to operate in an expanded role in the Texans' secondary if Pitre is not cleared to play Week 12.

Remaining in concussion protocol Pitre (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Impact Pitre entered the league's concussion protocol following the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. He hasn't been able to practice since, and he'll miss a second consecutive game as a result. Pitre's absence means Myles Bryant will continue to work in a meaningful role in the Texans' secondary.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Pitre (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Pitre was unable to play against the Jaguars in Week 10 after not being able to practice while in the league's concussion protocol. He'll have two more chances to return to practice, but he'll need to pass an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play against the Titans on Sunday. Myles Bryant stepped into a prominent role on defense during the Texans' Week 9 over the Jaguars, and he would continue to see an elevated snap count for as long as Pitre is sidelined.

Ruled out for Week 10 Pitre (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Pitre was unable to practice during Week 10 prep while in the league's concussion protocol and won't play in Sunday's AFC South tilt against Jacksonville. Alijah Huzzie was waived by the Texans on Thursday, so Tremon Smith could see more snaps at the slot corner in Pitre's absence.

Sits out practice Pitre (concussion) didn't participate in Houston's practice Wednesday.

Impact Pitre seemingly suffered a concussion during the team's Week 9 loss to Denver. The 26-year-old will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's eligible to return to the field. If he can't play in Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Alijah Huzzie would likely serve as the team's starting slot corner in Pitre's place.
