Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) and safety Jalen Pitre (shoulder) are both considered week-to-week, head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday, giving Houston a measure of good news after Sunday's 26-3 win over Tennessee.
Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN): Injuries to running back Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) and safety Jalen Pitre (shoulder) are considered 'week-to-week,' per head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Adam Schefter separately reported Montgomery's groin injury specifically as week-to-week. Montgomery exited Sunday's first win of the season with the issue, and Pitre finished the game dealing with his shoulder, but neither injury is expected to require injured reserve.
The timing matters for a Texans team that snapped an 0-4 start against the Titans. Houston's offense has leaned on Montgomery in the backfield mix, while Pitre is a central piece of the secondary's versatility. With a short turnaround on the schedule ahead, the week-to-week labels leave both players day-to-day in practice terms until further updates.
