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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unless Lassiter suffered a setback during Sunday's win over Las Vegas, he seems likely to play Saturday versus the Chargers.

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

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.

Impact Lassiter managed to log a limited practice Friday, his first of the week, and it was enough to cleanse the cornerback of an injury designation for Sunday's contest. Now ready to move on the foot he injured against the Chiefs in Week 14, the cornerback will likely continue the streak of 100 percent defensive participation he has logged since Week 8.
