Texans' DeMeco Ryans says Jalen Pitre to be 'out for some time'

HOUSTON -- Texans safety Jalen Pitre will be "out for some time" with a shoulder injury, coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday.

Pitre injured his shoulder in Houston's 32-27 loss to Tennessee when he tackled Titans wideout Tyler Boyd in the second quarter. He left the game shortly after and didn't return.

Pitre is trying to get a second opinion to determine exactly how long he'll be out, according to league sources.

The third-year safety out of Baylor has played slot corner for the Texans and was second on the team in tackles (65), tied for fifth in tackles for loss (6) and third in pass deflections (8).
