Stewart (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart suffered a fractured shoulder in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and was expected to be out long-term, so his move to IR does not come as a surprise. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games, but a longer recovery time could be needed for the North Carolina product.

Stewart's shoulder injury is expected to require a long-term recovery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart stepped in for the injured Jimmie Ward (hamstring) this past Sunday before suffering a shoulder injury of his own. The 28-year-old safety has appeared in eight games for the Texans this year, recording 22 total tackles and one forced fumble. Stewart could very well end up on injured reserve in the near future.

Stewart, who left Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury, will undergo an MRI on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart exited the game after coming in to replace Jimmie Ward, who suffered a hamstring injury. The former had his arm in a sling after the game and appears in danger of missing time moving forward. With Stewart and Ward likely to be questionable or worse for Week 10 against the Bengals, DeAndre Houston-Carson may be in line for an expanded role in the contest.

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

EDGE Analysis

Stewart stepped in at strong safety after Jimmie Ward suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the game, and now both will not return. DeAndre Houston-Carson has taken their place in the secondary.

Stewart is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Buccaneers with a shoulder injury.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart suffered an injury of his own after coming off the bench to replace starting safety Jimmie Ward (hamstring), who is also listed as questionable to return. DeAndre Houston-Carson ended up stepping in to replace Stewart, who recorded three tackles prior to his departure.

Stewart recorded no tackles while playing four snaps on defense and 22 on special teams in the Texans' 37-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After recording 10 tackles and a forced fumble while playing every snap on defense in the Texans' Week 2 loss to the Colts, Stewart moved back into a reserve role Sunday with Eric Murray and Jimmie Ward making their returns from injury. Though he played only four snaps on defense Week 3, Stewart's role could become further reduced Sunday against the Steelers if fellow safety Jalen Pitre (chest) is able to return from a two-game absence.

Stewart signed a contract with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart joined the Texans in 2022 and played as a backup safety while also contributing plenty on special teams. In total, he tallied 41 tackles and one pass defended to go along with one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

Stewart (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart was forced to exit Houston's Week 16 win over Tennessee after taking a blow to the head that resulted in a concussion. However, he appears to have cleared the league's protocols and has practiced in full the last two days. Stewart will return to a depth role in the Texans' secondary while also shouldering a heavy load on special teams.

Stewart suffered a concussion during Saturday's 19-14 win at Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his departure in the second half, Stewart didn't make a mark in the box score. Now that he's subject to the protocol for head injuries in order to play again, his status for the Texans' next game Sunday, Jan. 1 against the Jaguars is up in the air.

Stewart agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart appeared in 13 games for the Browns in 2021 and totaled 47 tackles (34 solo), four pass deflections and one forced fumble. The 2018 second-round pick figures to offer depth to Houston's suspect safety group and may even be able to win a starting spot during training camp.
