“Horrible News!”: Houston Texans Fans Saddened by Rising Star Missing the Rest of the 2024 Season
Houston Texans defensive back Jalen Pitre had an incredible start to his third season in the National Football League and his first season at a new position: nickel cornerback. Pitre recorded 65 tackles, six TFLs, one interception, eight pass deflections, and one forced fumble in 12 games. He allowed 334 passing yards, four touchdowns, and a 97.1 passer rating in coverage while posting a 71.3 coverage grade and an overall 73.9 PFF grade.
The Houston Texans’ star nickel suffered a significant injury in Week 12
Jalen Pitre injured his pectoral during the first half of Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Tests determined that Pitre suffered a partially torn pectoral muscle and wasn’t initially expected to undergo surgery but would weigh a second opinion. He missed Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Texans are coming off BYE and host the Miami Dolphins for Week 15.
He will miss the rest of the season
According to Jordan Schultz of Schultz_Report, Jalen Pitre will undergo surgery to repair his partially torn pectoral. As Schultz points out, Pitre, their star nickel cornerback, will miss the rest of the 2024 season, which is a devastating loss for the Houston Texans’ defense. The good news is he should be ready for the start of training camp.

Kelly bragged about LSU’s future prospects after LSU’s 37-17 regular-season finale blowout win over Oklahoma, telling reporters they’d be taking receipts when they made it to a future national title. Kelly didn’t give specifics as to when that would be. He also told reporters LSU would have good news about players returning in 2025.
The Tigers have lost several key players to the transfer portal and several key recruits, which Kelly, who is on a 10-year deal worth $95, wanted to blame on the evil NIL.
One of the biggest decisions LSU was waiting on had to do with quarterback, Gerrett Nussmeir’s plan on where he wanted to play after a tragic season under Kelly. Per On3 Sports, the junior quarterback from Lake Charles, Louisiana, announced his intention to return to Baton Rouge for 2025.
