Lassiter (ankle/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Lassiter was unable to practice at all this week due to the ankle injury he sustained during the Texans' Week 17 win over the Chargers. The cornerback was able to return to last Sunday's game, so he must have suffered a setback during the week that will prevent him from playing through the issue. With Lassiter out, Tremon Smith will likely start opposite Derek Stingley at outside cornerback for Sunday's divisional contest.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Misses practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Lassiter (foot) was a non-participant in practice Tuesday.
Lassiter has been dealing with a foot injury throughout December, but the issue hasn't caused him to sit out any games. He's missed the first day of practice each of the past four weeks, so Tuesday's DNP shouldn't be particularly alarming. Unless Lassiter suffered a setback during Sunday's win over Las Vegas, he seems likely to play Saturday versus the Chargers.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Lassiter (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Lassiter missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday, so Friday's upgrade to full participation was enough to clear the cornerback of any injury designation he may have carried into Sunday's contest. The starter opposite Derek Stingley, Lassiter has not registered a game under a 93 percent defensive snap share this season, and that streak is not likely to be broken Sunday.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Ready to rock
Rotowire
Lassiter (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Lassiter managed to log a limited practice Friday, his first of the week, and it was enough to clear the cornerback of an injury designation for Sunday's contest. Now that he's past the foot injury he suffered against the Chiefs in Week 14, the cornerback will likely continue the streak of 100 percent defensive snaps he has logged since Week 8.

Rotowire
Lassiter recorded five tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup in Thursday night's win over the Bills.
Lassiter played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the fifth straight contest and played lockdown coverage against Buffalo, as Josh Allen completed just three passes for 28 scoreless yards when targeting Lassiter.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Posts two stops in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Lassiter recorded two tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 16-13 victory versus Tennessee.
Lassiter played every defensive snap for the Texans but had a meager two tackles for the second straight week. That's not a reflection of Lassiter's level of play -- he was impressive again Sunday, as he has been throughout the season, but that sometimes limits the amount of tackles he gets to make. To highlight that point, Lassiter has notched at least one defensed pass in seven straight contests, the longest such streak in the NFL this season.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Quiet output in Week 10 win
Rotowire
Lassiter recorded two tackles (both solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 36-29 victory versus Jacksonville.
Lassiter played every defensive snap for Houston but logged a season-low two stops. He did, however, manage to record a defensed pass for the sixth straight game. The low tackle total doesn't take away from Lassiter's strong play, and he even slid over to the slot at times in nickel packages. Lassiter is tied for 14th in the league with eight defensed passes so far this season.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Remains in concussion protocols
Rotowire
Lassiter (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Lassiter was diagnosed with a concussion during Houston's Week 10 loss to Detroit, which prevented him from practicing Thursday. Even if Lassiter was able to return to practice over the next two days, that doesn't guarantee he will be able to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to play against Dallas on Monday. Ka'dar Hollman saw increased snaps on defense in Week 10 following Lassiter's exit, and the former finished with four solo tackles across 25 defensive snaps.
