Texans Jalen Pitre week-to-week with AC joint sprain after Titans game

Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre suffered an AC joint sprain during their game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, according to sources. Despite the injury, Pitre is considered week-to-week and will not undergo surgery or be placed on injured reserve. This development brought relief to the Texans, as Pitre had previously missed games due to various injuries.

In his rookie season of 2022, Pitre played in all 17 games. However, in 2023, a chest injury forced him to miss two weeks, while in 2024, he underwent season-ending surgery for a ruptured pectoral, missing three games. Pitre had also missed three games last season due to a concussion. Should he miss the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, fifth-round rookie Kamari Ramsey could potentially take his place.

Ramsey has primarily been a special teams player to date, playing on 50% of special teams snaps and 12% of defensive snaps. However, he made an impact against the Tennessee Titans during the second half, facing three targets and giving up two receptions for 25 yards. During the preseason and training camp, Ramsey stood out with an interception against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Texans are set to travel to Jacksonville for a Sunday game at 8:30 a.m.
