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.

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.
Slow start, strong finish
Published: 2024-03-28
Stingley recorded 39 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions over 11 regular-season games in 2023.
Stingley, a second-year cornerback and 2022 first-round draft pick, suffered a Week 3 hamstring that created issues for the defense early on, but upon his return Week 10, Stingley made an impact. He had interceptions in three straight games, including in the Week 13 win over the Broncos. Stingley returns as the team's top cornerback in 2024.
Picks off pass in loss
Published: 2023-12-25
Stingley intercepted one pass and broke up two more in the Texans' 36-22 defeat to the Browns on Sunday.
With the interception, the second-year pro raised his 2023 total to five. Stingley also has 12 pass breakups and 32 tackles this season.
Two picks in win
Published: 2023-12-04
Stingley had two interceptions and four passes defensed in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Stingley recorded two of three interceptions, as Houston's defense was pivotal in the win. His first pick, late in the third quarter, set up Houston on a short field and led to its final touchdown. The second-year cornerback later intercepted a deep ball to Courtland Sutton. Stingley has four interceptions over the last three games.
Intercepts another pass Sunday
Published: 2023-11-27
Stingley recorded five tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 24-21 loss versus the Jaguars.
Stingley picked off a pass for the second straight game in Week 12, good for the third interception of his young career. Opposing quarterbacks have struggled mightily when targeting Stingley this season, and he'll look to build on his recent success in a Week 13 matchup versus the Broncos.
Logs pick in win
Published: 2023-11-21
Stingley had six tackles, an interception and two passes defensed in Week 11's 21-16 win over the Cardinals.
Stingley was stride for stride with Marquise Brown on a deep ball from Kyler Murray and brought in the 50-50 ball. It was the second career interception for Stingley. This was his second game back from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2. The cornerback was limited to 44 snaps (69 percent) in Week 10's win over the Bengals but was back to full duty Sunday.
Activated off IR
Published: 2023-11-11
Stingley (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and set to return to the field in the Texans' Week 10 matchup with the Bengals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stinglye was designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the week, and he did not waste any time proving he is ready to return. Barring any setbacks, he will presumably take on cornerback responsibilities opposite Shaquill Griffin.
Approaching return from IR

Houston designated Stingley (hamstring) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday.
The transaction starts the clock on a 21-day window during which the Texans can officially activate Stingley before they'd be forced to shut him down for the remainder of the season. Houston's injury reports this week will shed some light on whether he'll be ready to play come Sunday at Cincinnati.
