On track for OTAs
Pitre said Sunday that he underwent successful surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle and that he is progressing well enough in his recovery to be on track to participate in OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Pitre served as the Texans' nickel cornerback before tearing his pectoral muscle in Week 12 against the Titans, and he finished the 2024 regular season with 65 tackles (44 solo), eight pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across 12 games. Jimmie Ward replaced Pitre at nickel, but the former was replaced by Myles Bryant after suffering a season-ending foot injury. Pitre is eligible for a contract extension, and the 2022 second-round pick relayed that he hopes to sign a long-term deal with Houston during the offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Pitre is a key member of the improved Texans' culture and was impressively named a team captain in 2023 - his second pro season. While he may have a presence in the locker room, his play on the field has been less compelling and that could spell trouble as the Texans' continue to add to their roster in hopes of a making a Super Bowl run. Through two seasons, Pitre has allowed a 68.3 completion percentage against, 14.1 yards per reception and a 92.3 passer rating all while missing tackles at a 17.9 percent clip. There's no obvious replacement for him, though Houston did select Callen Bullock in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Assuming Pitre can stick on the field, the hope will be that he can return to his rookie form, when he posted 147 combined tackles with five picks.

May not be done for season
Pitre is set to miss multiple weeks with a pectoral injury he suffered Sunday, but the safety could return late in the season or during the playoffs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 second-round pick avoided a full tear of his pec, and while surgery may eventually be required on the injury, no procedure is planned as of yet. Pitre was having a strong season with 65 tackles and a career-high eight passes defended in 12 games, and the Texans are currently in first place in the AFC South and en route to securing a playoff spot, which could provide the Baylor product with additional time to recover if necessary.
