The Texans placed Pitre (pectoral) on injured reserve Friday.

Pitre will require surgery to address a ruptured pectoral muscle, which rules him out from the remainder of the 2024 campaign, including any postseason action Houston participates in. With Pitre unavailable, all of Eric Murray, M.J. Stewart, Myles Bryant could benefit from increased opportunities down the stretch, including Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Set for season-ending surgery

Pitre will get surgery on his ruptured pectoral and will miss the remainder of the campaign, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pitre suffered a partial pectoral tear Week 12 against Tennessee and was already set to miss multiple games. However, with the news that he'll need surgery, the talented young cornerback will not be able to return to action until next season. Pitre finishes the 2024 campaign with 65 tackles (44 solo) and eight pass defenses, including one interception, over 12 contests.

Won't play Week 13

Pitre (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Pitre was unable to practice all week due to a partial pecotral tear that he suffered during the Texans' loss to the Titans this past Sunday. With Houston on a bye for Week 14, Pitre's next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Suffers partial pectoral tear

Pitre sustained a partially-ruptured pectoral during Sunday's game versus the Titans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It still hasn't been decided whether Pitre will need surgery to repair the muscle, and that judgement will probably determine how long he'll need to sit out as he recovers. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, he'll likely have to miss multiple games either way, which could mean increased opportunities for Eric Murray and M.J. Stewart.

Won't return Sunday

Pitre (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Pitre suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the game. Jimmie Ward and M.J. Stewart will pick up additional defensive snaps in the secondary due to Pitre's injury.

Leaves game with shoulder injury

Pitre (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

Pitre suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and he went back to the locker room after being evaluated by trainers in the blue medical tent. M.J. Stewart would be the top candidate to fill in at slot corner if Pitre is unable to return.

Forces key fumble in win

Pitre recorded nine tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble during Monday's 34-10 win at Dallas.

Pitre came flying from the defensive backfield on a chaotic play early in the fourth quarter, smashing into left tackle Tyler Guyton as he tried to advance a Cooper Rush fumble. Guyton then became the second Dallas player to fumble that down, allowing defensive lineman Derek Barnett to scoop up the ball and rumble 28 yards into the end zone to make the score 27-10. Pitre is on the fringe of IDP consideration in some formats for a Week 12 tilt versus the Titans.

Sets up touchdown

Pitre made four tackles, including one for a loss, and had an interception in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8.

Pitre's contribution to the win was intercepting an Anthony Richardson pass deep in the Colts' territory. One play later, C.J. Stroud threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tank Dell, giving the Texans a lead it would not relinquish. Pitre moved back to a hybrid role in the secondary this season -- a similar role he played at Baylor -- playing both cornerback and safety and showed modest improvement in his coverage. Missed tackles have been an issue, as they've been throughout his career, but Pitre has shown improvement in all areas of defense.

Eight stops in loss

Pitre recorded eight total tackles (five solo) and defended one pass during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

Pitre continues to impress through the Texans' first three games, recording 21 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, while also defending two passes on 168 defensive snaps. The third-year pro appears to be adjusting well to his new role as a nickel safety, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses as the season progresses.
