Signed a one-year deal with the Texans in March of 2026.
Likely remaining in Houston
Stewart (quadriceps) plans on signing a one-year deal to remain in Houston, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart missed Houston's final eight regular-season games in 2025 due to a quadriceps injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The veteran safety from North Carolina has appeared in 24 regular-season games over the past two seasons, tallying 37 total tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble while contributing both on defense (316 snaps) and special teams (447 snaps). If the 30-year-old signs a one-year deal with Houston as expected, he'll likely maintain a similar role during the 2026 season.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Like fellow second-round rookie Carlton Davis, Stewart has made a strong impression in training camp thus far. He's often worked against first-team receivers due to injuries to Brent Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves, giving him valuable experience that should serve him well during his first pro campaign. Stewart got his hands on the ball plenty during his college career at North Carolina, recording six interceptions while defending 41 passes overall.
