Logs eight tackles in finale Pitre (concussion) recorded eight tackles before leaving Houston's 32-31 win over the Colts in Week 18.

Impact Pitre led the Texans with 147 tackles and five interceptions. The rookie second-round pick out of Baylor, who started the year strong but faded in the middle, resuscitated his season after being moved from strong to free safety. After the switch, Pitre recorded 71 tackles over the final six games. Given health, Pitre will have a starting spot on the back end in 2023.

Removed with possible concussion Pitre exited Sunday's game against the Colts to be evaluated for a concussion.

Impact Pitre appears to have sustained a head injury at some point during the second half. The rookie safety has emerged in a do-it-all role in Houston's secondary, and he logged eight tackles before being removed in the fourth quarter. In his absence, M.J. Stewart and Eric Murray could be in line for additional usage during the remainder of the fourth quarter.

Notches another do-it-all outing Pitre collected 13 tackles (11 solo) and an interception during Sunday's 31-3 defeat versus the Jaguars.

Impact Pitre continued to serve as Houston's most productive defender, finishing with a team high in tackles Week 17. The rookie second-rounder also grabbed one of the team's two interceptions when he picked off backup quarterback C.J. Beathard late in the third quarter. Pitre now leads the Texans in tackles (139), passes defended (eight) and interceptions (five) over 16 games. He has also logged double-digit tackles in all but one game since Week 12, and he'll look to finish the season strong Week 18 against Indianapolis.

Collects fourth INT of season Pitre racked up nine tackles (seven solo) and recorded an interception Saturday in a Week 16 win over the Titans.

Impact Pitre led Houston in tackles in the victory, and he ended the contest by picking off Malik Willis' desperation heave into the end zone as time expired. Pitre has put together an outstanding rookie campaign, tallying 126 tackles, one sack and four interceptions. The tackle total leads all NFL safeties.

Posts double-digit tackles again Pitre logged 13 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 30-24 overtime defeat against Kansas City.

Impact Pitre logged at least 10 tackles for the third straight game and the fourth overall this season. The rookie has stepped up into a massively productive role since transitioning to free safety, though he failed to defend a pass for the first time in four games Week 15. Pitre's presence on every defensive snap for Houston should provide him an opportunity to log another prolific performance against Tennessee's rush-heavy offense Week 16.

Move to free safety pays off Pitre recorded a team-high 12 tackles and had two passes defensed in Sunday's 27-23 loss to Dallas in Week 14.

Impact Pitre, who had a team-high 16 tackles the previous week, is thriving since he was moved from strong safety to free safety, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. He had a couple of pass breakups on jarring hits and a key third-and-goal stop to preserve Houston's slim lead at the time. The rookie safety began the year strong before hitting a midseason lull, but the shift to free safety has worked.

DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Extremely productive in loss Pitre recorded 16 tackles (nine solo) and one interception in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns.

Impact Pitre finished with nine more stops than the Texans' second-leading tackler Christian Kirksey. The starting safety had seen his playing time take a slight dip over the last six games, though he played every defensive snap for the first time since Week 5. Pitre is now just eight stops shy of reaching 100 tackles in his rookie season, and he should have a good chance to reach this mark if Houston's offense is unable to keep its defense off the field against Dallas in Week 14.
