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.

Practices in full Thursday Pitre (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact A foot injury limited Pitre's participation in Wednesday's practice, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The fourth-year corner has 39 tackles (25 solo) and five pass defenses (three interceptions) through seven regular-season games.

Nursing foot issue Pitre (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Pitre was on the field for nearly all of Houston's defensive snaps during Sunday's game versus the 49ers, so it's not immediately apparent when he suffered the foot injury. In any case, he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Houston releases its final practice report of the week Friday.

Pitre has now tallied 31 total tackles and five passes defended, including three interceptions, through the Texans' first six games this season. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks in the Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.
