Full go in practice Lassiter (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Lassiter is seemingly healthy again after missing the team's Week 18 win over the Colts due to ankle and knee injuries. The 22-year-old is expected to resume his role as one of the team's starting cornerbacks alongside Derek Stingley for Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Steelers.

Limited in Friday's session Lassiter (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Lassiter was able to upgrade to a limited participant Friday after missing Thursday's session due to ankle and knee issues he suffered in the Week 17 win over the Chargers. The cornerback will have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice participation to dodge an injury designation ahead of Monday night's wild-card clash with the Steelers. If the 22-year-old is unable to suit up for the contest, Tremon Smith will likely start at outside cornerback opposite Derek Stingley once again.

Misses practice, expects to play Lassiter (ankle/knee) did not practice Thursday but said he expects to suit up for Monday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Pittsburgh, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports...

Impact The Texans seem to simply be taking a cautious approach to Lassiter's health, and he will have two more chances to resume practicing ahead of Monday's road playoff matchup. The starting cornerback missed Houston's regular-season finale against the Colts in Week 18 due to a pair of injuries.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Lassiter (ankle) isn't practicing Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Lassiter has two opportunities left to take the practice field before Monday's wild-card round matchup with the Steelers, and Alexander expects Lassiter to be available Monday. The starting cornerback's practice participation will be worth monitoring over the coming days after Lassiter sat out the Week 18 win over the Colts.

JANUARY 3 • DEADSPIN.COM

Ruled out for Sunday Lassiter (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lassiter was unable to practice at all this week due to the ankle injury he sustained during the Texans' Week 17 win over the Chargers. The cornerback was able to return to last Sunday's game, so he must have suffered a setback during the week that will prevent him from playing through the issue. With Lassiter out, Tremon Smith will likely start opposite Derek Stingley at outside cornerback for Sunday's divisional contest.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out of Wednesday's practice Lassiter (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Lassiter was diagnosed with a knee injury during the Texans' Week 17 win over the Chargers but was cleared to return before the end of the first half. The injury has since been updated to an ankle issue, which prevented him from participating in the opening practice of Week 18 prep. The second-year cornerback will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of the Texans' regular-season finale against the Colts on Sunday.

4 Takeaways From the Texans' Win Over the Chargers

Returns before half Lassiter (knee) has returned to Saturday's game, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Lassiter left in the second quarter but was able to return before the end of the half. The cornerback was back in the game to help force the Chargers to a missed field goal attempt.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return with knee Lassiter (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Lassiter left near the end of the first half, and the cornerback's ability to return to the game remains to be determined. Before his exit, the 22-year-old participated in one tackle.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to rock Lassiter (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Lassiter has gained clearance to suit up Week 17 after having logged a DNP/LP/FP slate of practices. Expect the second-year pro to handle his usual every-down role at cornerback on the road against Los Angeles on Sunday.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in Wednesday's practice Lassiter (foot) was a limited participant in Houston's practice Wednesday.

Impact Lassiter managed to return to practice after sitting out Tuesday's session due to a foot injury. The 22-year-old is seemingly trending toward playing in Saturday's game versus the Chargers, where he should continue to serve as one of the Texans' starting cornerbacks.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Tuesday Lassiter (foot) was a non-participant in practice Tuesday.

Impact Lassiter has been dealing with a foot injury throughout December, but the issue hasn't caused him to sit out any games. He's missed the first day of practice each of the past four weeks, so Tuesday's DNP shouldn't be particularly alarming. Unless Lassiter suffered a setback during Sunday's win over Las Vegas, he seems likely to play Saturday versus the Chargers.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Sunday Lassiter (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Lassiter missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday, so Friday's upgrade to full participation was enough to cleanse the cornerback of any injury designation he may have carried into Sunday's contest. The starter opposite Derek Stingley, Lassiter has not registered a game under 93 percent defensive snap share this season, and that streak is not likely to be broken Sunday.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited practice Lassiter (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Lassiter missed Wednesday's practice, so it's encouraging to see him now back on the field, even as a limited participant. He'll have one more chance to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Still dealing with foot injury Lassiter (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Impact Lassiter has played through the problem with his foot for the past few weeks, so it's likely Houston is just being cautious with its ascendent talent at cornerback. He'll get two more chances to practice before the Texans release their final practice report of the week Friday.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks off Brissett in Week 15 win Lassiter tallied five tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Lassiter was able to shake off a foot injury to play in Sunday's game and ended up playing in 63 of 65 defensive snaps (96.9 percent). He logged his fourth interception of the season early in the third quarter on a pass from Jacoby Brissett that was intended for Michael Wilson in the end zone. Lassiter has logged one pick in back-to-back games, and his four interceptions (through 14 regular-season games) is tied for sixth most in the NFL.
