Texans' M.J. Stewart: Won't play Sunday
Stewart (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.
The seventh-year pro failed to log a single practice session this week due to a knee injury, so it's no surprise that he won't be suiting up Sunday. With Stewart sidelined in Week 1, expect Calen Bullock and Eric Murray to assume the reserve safety roles.

Texans' M.J. Stewart: Lands on IR
Stewart (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stewart suffered a fractured shoulder in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and was expected to be out long-term, so his move to IR does not come as a surprise. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games, but a longer recovery time could be needed for the North Carolina product.

Texans' M.J. Stewart: Suffers long-term injury
Stewart's shoulder injury is expected to require a long-term recovery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stewart stepped in for the injured Jimmie Ward (hamstring) this past Sunday before suffering a shoulder injury of his own. The 28-year-old safety has appeared in eight games for the Texans this year, recording 22 total tackles and one forced fumble. Stewart could very well end up on injured reserve in the near future.

Texans' M.J. Stewart: Needs MRI
Stewart, who left Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury, will undergo an MRI on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stewart exited the game after coming in to replace Jimmie Ward, who suffered a hamstring injury. The former had his arm in a sling after the game and appears in danger of missing time moving forward. With Stewart and Ward likely to be questionable or worse for Week 10 against the Bengals, DeAndre Houston-Carson may be in line for an expanded role in the contest.

Texans' M.J. Stewart: Sees big snap reduction
Stewart recorded no tackles while playing four snaps on defense and 22 on special teams in the Texans' 37-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
After recording 10 tackles and a forced fumble while playing every snap on defense in the Texans' Week 2 loss to the Colts, Stewart moved back into a reserve role Sunday with Eric Murray and Jimmie Ward making their returns from injury. Though he played only four snaps on defense Week 3, Stewart's role could become further reduced Sunday against the Steelers if fellow safety Jalen Pitre (chest) is able to return from a two-game absence.
