Texans' Derek Stingley: Held out of Wednesday's practice
Stingley (oblique) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Stingley has managed to play through an oblique injury for each of the Texans' last two games, and with the AFC South title on the line, the fourth-year corner will likely play against the Colts on Sunday assuming he's cleared to do so, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stingley will have two more chances to return to practice and potentially avoid an injury designation heading into Week 18.

Texans' Derek Stingley: No rest if healthy Week 18
Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Stingley and other starters will play Week 18 if healthy with the AFC South title still attainable, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Stingley has dealt with an oblique injury the last two games but suited up in each, playing a combined 98 percent of the defensive snaps. Houston can claim a third consecutive division title with a win and a Jacksonville loss. It could also slip to as low as seventh with a loss to the Colts on Sunday. If Stingley plays Week 18, it will be a second consecutive full regular season for the fourth-year cornerback, who missed a combined 14 games in his first two NFL campaigns.

Texans' Derek Stingley: Ready to face Chargers
Stingley (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Chargers.
Stingley has gained clearance to play Week 17 after logging a DNP/LP/FP practice slate. The standout cornerback played through his oblique injury Week 16 versus the Raiders, but the issue didn't prevent him from handling 100 percent of defensive snaps or recording the first pick-six of his NFL career. He's set to handle his usual every-down role on the road against Los Angeles.

Texans' Derek Stingley: Green light to play vs. Vegas
Stingley (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Stingley earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after working through an oblique injury during Week 16 prep, but he has progressed enough in his recovery over the weekend to play. The fourth-year cornerback has tallied 19 tackles (13 solo) and eight pass defenses (two interceptions) in the eight games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Texans' Derek Stingley: Leaning toward playing Week 16
Stingley (oblique), who is officially questionable to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday, is planning to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stingley hurt his oblique last Sunday against Arizona and missed the Texans' first two practices this week. However, he logged a limited session Friday, which appears to be enough for him to take the field versus Las Vegas. Still, Stingley's status seems unlikely to be certain until Houston releases its list of inactives approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Texans' Derek Stingley: Nursing oblique injury
Stingley (oblique) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Stingley played fewer defensive snaps (55) than normally would have been expected in Week 15, but that could have been partly because of the lopsided nature of the contest. His activity at practice will be worth monitoring as the week continues leading up to Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

Texans' Derek Stingley: Empty box score in TNF win
Stingley didn't record any tackles or pass breakups in Houston's win over the Bills on Thursday night.
Buffalo stayed completely away from Stingley, who played all 66 defensive snaps Thursday night. Josh Allen threw at Stingley twice, completing one pass for 11 scoreless yards. A first-team All-Pro cornerback last season, Stingley has been a massive part of Houston's elite play on the defensive side of the ball in 2025, essentially taking away half the field. He's recorded 25 tackles (19 solo) and 11 pass breakups, including three interceptions, across 11 starts this season.
