Texans' Derek Stingley: Makes preseason debut
Rotowire
Stingley had one tackle and one pass defensed in Friday's preseason game against the Rams.
Stingley, the third overall pick in the 2022 draft, made his preseason debut Friday, getting in for three series. He was targeted twice and allowed one catch for 22 yards and broke up the other. Stingley appeared to be caught on his back foot, looking at the quarterback too long on the 22-yard completion to Lance McCutcheon, and he told Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle that he understood there are areas in which he needs to improve. He didn't play in the preseason opener, as Texans head coach Lovie Smith took a cautious approach with the cornerback who is coming off a Lisfranc injury at LSU and was limited throughout offseason activities.
