Ryans mentioned particularly how the Texans will adjust without standout safety Jalen Pitre. Despite Pitre’s absence, Ryans expressed confidence in the ability of Houston to adapt and change their plan this week to maximize talent on the field.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed it’s the last time fans will see him for a while. Pitre is expected to be “out for some time” with a shoulder injury, Ryans said Monday during his press conference. According to multiple reports, Pitre suffered a torn pectoral muscle but will not need to undergo surgery.

The Houston Texans announced their inactives for Sunday's Week 13 showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and for the first time this season they'll be without defensive back Jalen Pitre.
