  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Missing second straight week

    Thomas (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

    The 27-year-old underwent surgery after breaking his hand during the Texans' Week 2 loss to the Colts, so it's no surprise he's missing his second consecutive week. With Thomas missing time, Grayland Arnold is expected to see an uptick in work as the team's top nickel corner.

    Thomas (hand) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Thomas suffered a broken hand in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts and underwent surgery, so it comes as no surprise that he's expected to be sidelined for Week 3. It's unclear how long Thomas might be sidelined beyond this weekend, but in the meantime, Grayland Arnold is expected to serve as the Texans' top nickel corner.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Re-signs with Houston

    The Texans re-signed Thomas on a one-year, $3 million deal Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Thomas appeared in just 10 games last season, spending the first seven weeks on IR with a quadriceps injury. The veteran corner finished the season with 41 tackles (23 solo), one pass defensed and two forced fumbles. Thomas will likely find himself in a rotational role once again heading into the 2023 campaign.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Restored to active roster

    Thomas (quadriceps) was activated to the Texans' 53-man roster Thursday.

    Thomas spent the first seven weeks of the season on Houston's IR with a quadriceps injury before being designated to return to practice last Wednesday. Now, the second-year cornerback will be available to suit up for the first heading into Thursday's game against the Eagles. Thomas played 618 defensive snaps and collected 86 tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions over 17 games with the Texans last season, and he could play a prominent reserve role if Desmond King (knee) is held out against Philadelphia.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Returns to practice

    Thomas (quadriceps) has been designated to return from injured reserve and is back at practice Wednesday.

    Thomas has returned to practice following the quadriceps injury he suffered in August, and the team will now have 21 days to either add him to the active roster or leave him on IR the rest of the season. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as an option at nickelback on defensive packages and operate as a special-teams ace when healthy.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Shifted to IR

    Thomas (quadriceps) was placed on the Texans' injured reserve Thursday.

    Thomas has been sidelined indefinitely with a strained quadriceps since Aug. 17, and he will now be forced to remain out through at least the first four games of the regular season. The 26-year-old cornerback recorded 86 tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions over 17 games with Houston last year, and he is likely expected to play a major role once again when healthy in 2022. Until Thomas returns, Desmond King and Isaac Yiadom should see increased usage in the Texans' secondary.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Out indefinitely with pulled quad

    Thomas pulled his quadriceps and is out indefinitely, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    After solidifying himself as a special-teams ace early in his career, Thomas signed with the Texans last year and served as the team's nickelback, totaling a career-high 86 tackles and two interceptions. His absence will likely heat up competition in Houston's secondary, which features plenty of unproven talent.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Has strong first season in Houston

    Thomas recorded seven tackles and a quarterback hit in the 28-25 loss to Tennessee in Week 18.

    The Texans got good value from the two-year contract Thomas signed prior to the season. He played all 17 games and finished fourth on the team with 86 tackles. The 25-year-old cornerback added four passes defensed, two interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- and a forced fumble. He was one of several free-agent signings that panned out for Houston. Thomas, who primarily played slot corner, will return in 2022.

  • Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Finishes off Chargers

    Thomas had a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown in Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.

    The Chargers and quarterback Justin Herbert were down by nine with under two minutes left and attempting to get a score-onside kick recovery-score sequence to save their flagging playoff hopes when Thomas registered the first pick-six of his career. It was the second interception of the season for Thomas, who has emerged with a significant role in the Texans' secondary.
