Stewart (knee) is active Sunday against the Vikings. Stewart has yet to play this season due to the injury and will be making his season debut when he takes the field. The veteran safety will bolster the team's depth in the secondary but will primarily see action on special teams.
Stewart (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Stewart has been held out for the first two games of the season due to a knee injury he sustained in early September. The fact he was able to practice all three days, albeit in a limited capacity, gives the 2018 second-round pick a fair shot of suiting up for the first time this year. If he does play, Stewart will likely be limited to special-teams duties.
Stewart (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus Chicago. Stewart will miss his second straight game to open the campaign due to a knee issue. The safety didn't practice in any capacity this week, so his status for Week 3 may also be in doubt. When healthy, Stewart is expected to work in a backup role for the Texans.
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.
Stewart did not participate in practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury. Stewart has one more chance Friday to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Colts. The 2018 second-round pick is set to serve in a backup role at safety behind starters Jalen Pitre and Jimmie Ward.
Stewart (shoulder) is not on the injured list heading into training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Stewart fractured his shoulder last November against the Buccaneers and missed the rest of the season. The safety recorded 22 tackles in eight games in 2023. The seventh-year pro returns for the final year of his contract in 2024.
Stewart stepped in at strong safety after Jimmie Ward suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the game, and now both will not return. DeAndre Houston-Carson has taken their place in the secondary.
Stewart suffered an injury of his own after coming off the bench to replace starting safety Jimmie Ward (hamstring), who is also listed as questionable to return. DeAndre Houston-Carson ended up stepping in to replace Stewart, who recorded three tackles prior to his departure.
