Who Should I Start? Jalen Pitre or JT Woods

Wednesday, January 29, 8:07 PM

Houston Texans cornerback Jalen Pitre (pectoral) had successful surgery on his torn pectoral muscle and is on track to be available for the team's offseason activities. "My recovery is going well," Pitre said. In 12 games before his injury, Pitre had 65 tackles (six for loss), a forced fumble, an interception and eight pass breakups while moving back to his natural nickel position with the Texans. Losing Pitre in their secondary was tough for Houston's defense, as it became easier for opponents to run the ball against them. With both Pitre and Jimmie Ward (foot) injured, Myles Bryant became the team's primary nickelback. The 25-year-old former second-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, which means he's eligible for an extension. Staying with the Texans is something he's very much interested in, and that could become a reality if he stays healthy and plays up to his abilities in 2025.
