Stewart (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart suffered a left quad injury in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars that requires season-ending surgery. This move was strictly procedural as a result, and it will open up a roster spot for the Texans.

Stewart (quadriceps) will miss the remainder of the season, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being carted off during Sunday's game against Jacksonville, head coach Demeco Ryans confirmed Stewart's ankle injury is season-ending. The eight-year veteran took over as the starting safety following the release of C.J. Gardner-Johnson in September.

Stewart (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart was carted off the field in the first half after suffering a serious knee injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Tremon Smith will likely replace Stewart at free safety for the remainder of the divisional contest.

Stewart is expected to take over as a starting safety after the Texans released C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Wednesday, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gardner-Johnson's tenure in Houston lasted just three games before head coach DeMeco Ryans pushed the eject button. Ryans talked about having a "great pulse" of the locker room and "what's going on" as factors that influenced his decision. The 30-year-old Stewart is in his fourth season with the Texans and is familiar with the operation. He's played just five snaps in 2025 but has extensive experience as a backup in previous seasons, which makes Ryans believe he can handle the promotion.

The Texans will sign Stewart to a one-year contract, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart played in 15 regular-season games for the Texans in 2024, and although he didn't see the field much on defense, he was a major special-teams contributor. The fact Houston lost fellow safety Eric Murray to Jacksonville in free agency helped lead to Stewart being retained. He projects to contribute primarily on special teams again in 2025.

Stewart (knee) is active Sunday against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
