  • Fewer tackles in second season

    Pitre had 84 tackles, five passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 15 regular season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Pitre had to adjust to new coaches and a new scheme in 2023 and didn't come near the 147 tackles he recorded as a rookie in 2022. He was even benched during the second half of the Texans' Week 16 game against the Browns. Despite the drop in tackles, Pitre earned better coverage grades during his second season, per Pro Football Focus. The 2022 second-round draft pick has two years remaining on his rookie deal and should return as a starter at safety.

  • Second-most tackles in win

    Pitre had seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Pitre finished second on the Texans defense in tackles behind Desmond King. Pitre played every single defensive snap for the 10th time this season. The 2022 second-round pick out of Baylor has 77 tackles (54 solo), five passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 14 games this season.

  • Solid performance in loss

    Pitre tallied eight tackles (seven solo) during the Texans' 30-6 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pitre finished second on the team in tackles Sunday and has now logged at least six tackles in each of the past four games. The 24-year-old will look to keep producing during Houston's upcoming matchup with the Titans.

  • Productive in close loss

    Pitre recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-21 loss versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: It's the best tackle total Pitre has managed since Week 5 at Atlanta. It's been a relatively disappointing season for him so far after he posted impressive numbers as a rookie in 2022, but the Broncos could prove to be a favorable matchup for him in Week 13.

  • Big day in loss

    Pitre tallied 11 total tackles (seven solo), one pass deflection and one fumble recovery during the Texans' 21-19 loss to the Falcons this Sunday.

    Analysis: Pitre was productive in his second game back from a chest injury that landed him in the hospital during Houston's Week 1 loss to Baltimore. The 24-year-old was the Texans' second-leading tackler this past Sunday, trailing only Henry To'oTo'o (12 tackles). Pitre seemed to be back at full health as well, playing on 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 2022 second-round pick led Houston in tackles last season and finished fifth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, so expect him to…read more

  • Upgraded to full Thursday

    Pitre (chest) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: It's an upgrade for Pitre after he was limited Wednesday. Pitre is looking likely to make his return from a bruised lung suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Ravens and now appears to be on track to do so in the Week 4 clash against the Steelers on Sunday.

  • Gets in limited practice

    Pitre (chest) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Pitre is trying to return after missing the last two games with a bruised lung he sustained in Week 1. Veterans M.J. Stewart and Eric Murray have been picking up the slack at safety in Pitre's absence.

  • Returns to practice Wednesday

    Pitre (chest) practiced Wednesday for the first time since suffering a bruised lung in Week 1, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Pitre's hoping to return to action Sunday against the Steelers after missing Houston's past two games. If Pitre's able to play against Pittsburgh, he would likely reclaim the starting free safety role. M.J. Stewart got most of the snaps at the position in Week 2, while Eric Murray took over for most of Week 3.

    Pitre (chest) is expected to return to practice this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Pitre missed the past two games after sustaining a bruised lung injury in Week 1 against the Ravens. Whether he will be able to return for their Week 4 contest against the Steelers will depend on his practice participation in the upcoming week.

  • Won't play at Jaguars

    Pitre (chest) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: After he missed practice all week, it comes as no surprise to see that Pitre will be sitting out for a second consecutive game with a bruised lung. M.J. Stewart should continue to fill in as his replacement.

  • Not practicing yet

    Pitre (chest) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

  • Unable to play Week 2

    Pitre (chest) has been ruled out for Houston's matchup versus Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Texans will be without their starting safety Sunday as Pitre is still recovering from a bruised lung suffered during last week's loss to Baltimore. The 2022 second-round pick will now focus on getting ready for Week 3, while M.J. Stewart will likely serve as the starter in his absence.

  • Still recovering from injury

    Pitre (chest) did not practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Pitre is still recovering from a bruised lung suffered in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, which will likely leave his status for Week 2 against the Colts in question until closer to kickoff. If he does miss, that will likely leave M.J. Stewart to man the free safety position for the matchup.

  • Exits hospital

    Pitre (chest) was released from the hospital Monday after being kept overnight for observation.

    Analysis: Pitre ended up in the hospital after he suffered a bruised lung and coughed up blood during Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Ravens. The injury occurred after he took a knee to the chest from Lamar Jackson. It's still unclear how much time, if any, the second-year-pro may miss moving forward and what his likely status is for Week 2 against the Colts.

  • Suffers bruised lung

    Analysis: Pitre coughed up blood after taking a knee to the chest from Lamar Jackson, Wilson noted in a separate tweet. It's unclear how much time the second-year-pro could miss, if any, due to the injury. His next chance to suit up will be Week 2 against the Colts.

  • Emerging as leader of defense

    The Texans have big expectations for Pitre in his second pro season, John McClain of Sports Radio 610 reports.

    Analysis: The 2022 second-round pick will team up with veteran Jimmie Ward at the back of Houston's defense under new coach DeMeco Ryans, formerly the defensive coordinator in San Francisco. Last year, Pitre led all defensive backs with 147 tackles and tied for fifth with five interceptions, though he also had a league-high 19 missed tackles. While unlikely to match his rookie-year production as part of a seemingly improved Houston defense, Pitre can afford to lose a chunk of his tackle opportunities and…read more

  • Logs eight tackles in finale

    Pitre (concussion) recorded eight tackles before leaving Houston's 32-31 win over the Colts in Week 18.

    Analysis: Pitre led the Texans with 147 tackles and five interceptions. The rookie second-round pick out of Baylor, who started the year strong but faded in the middle, resuscitated his season after being moved from strong to free safety. After the switch, Pitre recorded 71 tackles over the final six games. Given health, Pitre will have a starting spot on the back end in 2023.

  • Removed with possible concussion

    Pitre exited Sunday's game against the Colts to be evaluated for a concussion.

    Analysis: Pitre appears to have sustained a head injury at some point during the second half. The rookie safety has emerged in a do-it-all role in Houston's secondary, and he logged eight tackles before being removed in the fourth quarter. In his absence, M.J. Stewart and Eric Murray could be in line for additional usage during the remainder of the fourth quarter.

  • Notches another do-it-all outing

    Pitre collected 13 tackles (11 solo) and an interception during Sunday's 31-3 defeat versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Pitre continued to serve as Houston's most productive defender, finishing with a team high in tackles Week 17. The rookie second-rounder also grabbed one of the team's two interceptions when he picked off backup quarterback C.J. Beathard late in the third quarter. Pitre now leads the Texans in tackles (139), passes defended (eight) and interceptions (five) over 16 games.

  • Collects fourth INT of season

    Pitre racked up nine tackles (seven solo) and recorded an interception Saturday in a Week 16 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Pitre led Houston in tackles in the victory, and he ended the contest by picking off Malik Willis' desperation heave into the end zone as time expired.

  • Posts double-digit tackles again

    Pitre logged 13 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 30-24 overtime defeat against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Pitre logged at least 10 tackles for the third straight game and the fourth overall this season. The rookie has stepped up into a massively productive role since transitioning to free safety, though he failed to defend a pass for the first time in four games Week 15. Pitre's presence on every defensive snap for Houston should provide him an opportunity to log another prolific performance against Tennessee's rush-heavy offense Week 16.

  • Move to free safety pays off

    Pitre recorded a team-high 12 tackles and had two passes defensed in Sunday's 27-23 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Pitre, who had a team-high 16 tackles the previous week, is thriving since he was moved from strong safety to free safety, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. He had a couple of pass breakups on jarring hits and a key third-and-goal stop to preserve Houston's slim lead at the time. The rookie safety began the year strong before hitting a midseason lull, but the shift to free safety has worked.

  • Extremely productive in loss

    Pitre recorded 16 tackles (nine solo) and one interception in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Pitre finished with nine more stops than the Texans' second-leading tackler Christian Kirksey. The starting safety had seen his playing time take a slight dip over the last six games, though he played every defensive snap for the first time since Week 5. Pitre is now just eight stops shy of reaching 100 tackles in his rookie season, and he should have a good chance to reach this mark if Houston's offense is unable to keep its defense off the field against Dallas in Week 14.

  • Seven stops Sunday

    Pitre recorded seven solo tackles and one pass defended during Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Pitre tied linebacker Christian Kirksey for a team lead in tackles despite posting a relatively moderate seven stops against the Dolphins' high-flying offense. The safety also continued to play the bulk of Houston's defensive snaps (88 percent), and he did notch his third pass defended of the season. Pitre has now recorded 38 tackles since falling out of an every-down role Week 7, and he should continue to see consistent playing time against Cleveland next Sunday.

  • Losing snaps

    Pitre logged six tackles over 56 snaps in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants in Week 10.

  • Two picks Week 3

    Pitre had eight tackles, a sack and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Chicago in Week 3.

    Analysis: Pitre has made in impact just three games into his NFL career. The two interceptions were the first of his career and the sack forced a punt, giving Houston a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter. The Texans did not take advantage of any of Pitre's disruptive plays, but they appear to have found a gem in the second round of the 2022 draft.

  • Double-digit tackles in debut

    Pitre recorded 11 tackles in Sunday's 20-20 overtime tie with Indianapolis in Week 1.

    Analysis: Pitre practiced with the starters in camp and was on the first-team defense during all three preseason games. He finished the preseason with nine tackles (two for a loss) and at times lined up on the line of scrimmage.

    Pitre has been practicing with the top defensive unit early in camp, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Pitre put on a show Friday, lunging for a tipped pass to record his first interception of camp. Houston head coach Lovie Smith said the No. 37 overall pick in the 2022 draft is blending in and then offered conflicting statements about the rookie's role, referring to Pitre as "one of our starting safeties" before telling reporters he isn't "giving out any starting spots." It sounds like Smith wants Pitre to start and will evaluate his progress throughout the preseason before committing to him as…read more
