KAMARI LASSITER NEWS

Picks off three passes as rookie Lassiter finished the 2024 season with 58 tackles (42 solo) and 10 pass breakups, including three interceptions, across 14 regular-season games.

Impact Selected No. 42 overall out of Georgia in the 2024 NFL Draft, Lassiter started all 14 games he appeared in and also logged four tackles for loss, including one safety. Lassiter saw most of his rookie-year action on the right side of the field opposite Derek Stingley, and the two formed one of the league's best cornerback duos. The pair is a foundation for the Houston defense moving forward.

Cleared to play Sunday Lassiter (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact Lassiter progressed throughout the practice week, going from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday and full participation Friday. With the Texans locked into the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs, it's unclear how long the team's starters and key contributors will play against Tennessee.

Managing quad issue Lassiter has a quadriceps injury and didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact This is a new injury for Lassiter, who started last Wednesday's Christmas Day game against Baltimore and logged 76 percent of Houston's defensive snaps. At this point, it's unclear if the issue will keep the rookie cornerback out of Sunday's regular-season finale versus Tennessee. It's also worth noting that the Texans are locked into the No. 4 playoff seed in the AFC, so they'd have little reason to play Lassiter if his injury is more than minor.

Secures six stops on Christmas Day Lassiter logged six tackles (three solo), including one for loss, in Wednesday's 31-2 Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Lassiter finished with the third-most tackles for Houston in the defeat. The rookie cornerback has been consistent of late with at least six tackles in three of his past four games. On the season, Lassiter has tallied 57 stops and three interceptions over 13 games.

Impact Lassiter was one of four Texans defenders Sunday to register eight combined tackles.

Clears protocol Lassiter (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Impact Lassiter missed Houston's Week 11 win over the Cowboys after sustaining a concussion the previous game, but he practiced in full all week and has cleared concussion protocol, paving the way for his return in Week 12. The rookie from Georgia has nabbed three interceptions in his eight appearances this season and is expected to serve as one of the team's top outside corners Sunday.

Full go for Wednesday Lassiter (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Impact The rookie corner from Georgia was sidelined for the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys on Monday night after sustaining a concussion the week prior. Wednesday's estimated full session suggests that Lassiter is nearly past his concussion; however, he must still pass through the NFL's five-step protocol in order to play in the Week 12 matchup against the Titans.

Inactive for MNF Lassiter (concussion) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Cowboys.

Impact The cornerback suffered the concussion in Week 10 against the Lions, missed both practice sessions to start the new week and was a limited participant Saturday. Lassiter has 29 tackles (22 solo), eight pass breakups and three interceptions in eight games this season. Ka'dar Hollman might be in line to take his place opposite Derek Stingley in the Houston secondary.

Questionable for Week 11 Lassiter (concussion) was limited in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Lassiter opened the week with consecutive DNPs due to a concussion he suffered in Week 10 against the Lions. Given his limited participation Saturday, it seems unlikely he'll clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to suit up Monday. If Lassiter is indeed ruled out, Ka'dar Hollman could be the Texans' second starting corner opposite Derek Stingley.

Remains in concussion protocols Lassiter (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lassiter was diagnosed with a concussion during Houston's Week 10 loss to Detroit, which prevented him from practicing Thursday. Even if Lassiter was able to return to practice over the next two days, that doesn't guarantee he will be able to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to play against Dallas on Monday. Ka'dar Hollman saw increased snaps on defense in Week 10 following Lassiter's exit, and the former finished with four solo tackles across 25 defensive snaps.
