Houston Texans starting safety Jalen Pitre is expected to be out multiple weeks after partially tearing a pectoral muscle on Sunday in the 32-27 home loss to the Tennessee Titans, NFL Network reported on Monday afternoon.
Pitre won’t have surgery at this point, according to the report, and his return is to be determined, including the possibility of playing later this season.
Pitre, 25, has started all 12 games this season for the Texans and has 65 tackles, six tackles for loss, one interception, eight passes defended and one forced fumble. He has started all 44 games he has played in his career and has totaled 296 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, six interceptions, one sack, 21 passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Houston selected Pitre in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He made the NFL All-Rookie Team that season.
The Texans (7-5) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, then have their bye week before four more games to complete their regular-season schedule.
