CB Kamari Lassiter returns to practice; CB Derek Stingley a full participant

The Houston Texans saw a positive shift in their practice participation ahead of their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cornerback Kamari Lassiter, offensive lineman Tytus Howard, and defensive end Denico Autry returned to limited practice on Friday after being absent on Thursday. Lassiter, who dealt with a knee injury in the win over the Chargers and missed the game against the Colts, confirmed his intention to play on Monday night. Offensive tackle Trent Brown continued with limited participation due to ankle and knee issues. Running back Jawhar Jordan missed practice for the second day in a row with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., safety Jaylen Reed, linebacker Jamal Hill, and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins all upgraded to full participation after being limited the previous day.
