Jalen Pitre, safety and nickel cornerback for the Houston Texans, will undergo season-ending surgery due to a pectoral injury sustained in a recent game against the Tennessee Titans. This decision comes after seeking a second opinion that confirmed the severity of the injury.

Pitre was a key player for the Texans, transitioning from safety to nickel corner this season and contributing significantly with 65 tackles and multiple defensive plays. Coach DeMeco Ryans expressed the impact of losing Pitre as a major setback for the team.
