Texans Rookie Officially Ruled Out In Week 11

The Houston Texans may just have one win through 10 weeks of the 2022 NFL season, but they've had some promising production out of their young players, most notably with Derek Stingley, Nico Collins and Dameon Pierce, giving them a potentially promising young core as they look to rebuild this franchise going forward. 

Stingley was the teams prized first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, taken at No. 3 overall ahead of standout Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, and while he hasn't yet got the headlines of Sauce, he's been every bit as good, and the Texans believe and hope that he will become a cornerstone of this defence for years to come.

Unfortunately ahead of Week 11, the hamstring injury that has been limiting him as of late will now officially rule him out against the red-hot Washington Commanders, and with names like Curtis Samuel and Terry McLaurin lining up opposing Houston, this may be a back-breaking loss for this team.
