Derek Stingley Jr. is listed as questionable with an oblique, having not practiced all week as the Texans prepare for the Titans. He’ll test the body before Week 4, leaving a big fantasy-relevance question in Houston’s secondary. If he plays, Houston’s pass defense steadies; if not, Titans receivers could feast behind a weakened secondary. Houston promoted depth players Myles Bryant and D'Angelo Ross to the active roster, while Jimmie Ward is on PUP and C.J. Gardner-Johnson was released. Kickoff noon CT.

Jimmie Ward was removed from the NFL exempt list, opening the door for a potential Texans return. He remains hampered by a foot injury and must clear Week 4 health questions before a possible roster move ahead of Houston’s bye week.

Facing the Titans in Week 4, Ward could rejoin the Texans if cleared, but off field questions linger from a non indictment in the family violence case and a parole related alcohol issue. Houston’s immediate challenge is balancing health, role, and roster integrity as Week 4 approaches.

The noon CT showdown with Tennessee adds a practical deadline for fantasy managers to watch Ward’s status, especially for defensive back depth and special teams leverage once he is back in action.
