Makes impactful pick in win
Published: 2024-12-02
Stingley recorded two tackles, three passes defensed and an interception in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13.
Stingley returned his pick 31 yards to give Houston a short field at Jacksonville's 44-yard line. That led to the second of three Ka'imi Fairbairn field goals, giving Houston 6-0 lead. It was the second interception in three games for Stingley, who has three for the season. All three have led to points (one TD, two FG).

Stingley (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
Stingley practiced in full Friday after beginning the Texans' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, so it appears he's moved past his hip injury in time to suit up in Week 12. The third-year pro has impressed through Houston's first 11 games this season, recording 36 total tackles and 12 passes defended, including two interceptions. Expect Stingley to serve as the Texans' top outside cornerback in Sunday's divisional matchup.
Estimated as limited
Published: 2024-11-20
Stingley (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
The Texans' top cornerback played though a hip issue in Houston's Week 11 win over the Cowboys, recording two total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, across 69 defensive snaps. This suggests that Stingley's estimated limited session Wednesday is likely precautionary, and he'll likely be ready for Sunday's matchup against the Titans unless he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.
Pick leads to points

Stingley recorded two tackles, an interception and two passes defensed in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas in Week 11.
Stingley halted a Dallas drive on the Houston side of the field with his second pick of the season and first since Week 2. The Texans were able to capitalize on the turnover, turning it into a Joe Mixon touchdown plunge. In addition to his two interceptions, Stingley has 36 tackles and 12 passes defensed over 11 games played.
Good to go for Monday night
Published: 2024-11-16
Stingley (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Cowboys and is expected to play.
After logging a DNP on Thursday, Stingley upgraded to limited Friday and full practice on Saturday. The Texans' star corner has yet to miss a game this season and has logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps in eight of 10 contests, including four straight. On the year, Stingley has 34 tackles (25 solo) and one interception.
Returns to practice Friday

Stingley (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Stingley opened the week as a DNP on Thursday due to a hip issue, but he was able to return for Friday's practice, albeit in a limited capacity. If he's able to practice in full Saturday, he'll avoid an injury designation heading into Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Stingley has played every single defensive snap during the Texans' last four regular-season games, and over that span he has logged 15 tackles (10 solo) and five pass defenses.
Dealing with hip injury
Published: 2024-11-14
Stingley (hip) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Stingley played all 62 defensive snaps during the Texans' Week 10 loss to the Lions and finished the game with two tackles (one solo) and one pass defense. However, it appears he may have picked up a hip injury in the process, which prevented him from practicing Thursday. Stingley will have two more chances to increase his practice participation this week ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Busy as a tackler Sunday
Published: 2024-10-08
Stingley recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 23-20 win versus the Bills.
Stingley hadn't posted seven tackles in a single game since Week 5 of his rookie year back in 2022, so Sunday's contest was an outlier for him in that regard. That fact makes him hard to trust as an IDP option in most formats despite his clearly being a strong asset for the Texans.
Two pass breakups in win
Published: 2024-10-01
Stingley recorded four tackles and two passes defensed in a 24-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 4.
With the Jaguars up, 20-17, late in the third quarter and trying to make it a two-score lead at Houston's one-yard line, Stingley broke up a 3rd-and-goal pass in the end zone. Jacksonville's subsequent attempt on 4th-and-goal was stuffed by the middle of Houston's defensive line, preserving the one-score deficit. Per Pro Football Focus, Stingley posted a 90.3 coverage grade in the win. He has nine tackles, three passes defensed and one interception through four contests.
