Texans Star Rookie Expected To Miss Week 12

The Houston Texans have had a tough season, as they have just one win through 11 weeks, and beyond the early development of Dameon Pierce and Derek Stingley Jr., there's been very little to cheer about. Unfortunately for the team, Stingley has been dealing with injury issues as of late, and after missing the Week 11 loss to the Washington Commanders, there's a very good chance he is missing once again in Week 12.

Texans didn't practice but estimated participation has Derek Stingley Jr. (Hamstring) not practicing again. He is not expected to play against Dolphins.

According to reports, Stingley has been dealing with a hamstring injury that knocked him out of the Week 11 game, and given how important he is to the future of this franchise, it makes sense that they are looking to be cautious with his injury.

In 2022, Stingley has racked up 43 tackles, 1 sack, 5 passes defended and 1 interception, and has played fantastic coverage all season long, and if he continues to improve as the years roll on, the Texans may end up being very happy that they passed on Sauce Gardner for the former LSU star.
