Jalen Pitre Released From The Hospital

Jalen Pitre Released From The Hospital

one year ago

Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre (lung) was released from the hospital on Monday and is in good spirits, according to a source. The young safety was taken to a local hospital on Sunday after suffering a bruised lung in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens when quarterback Lamar Jackson's knee hit his chest. The 24-year-old second-year defensive back should ultimately be OK, but it remains to be seen if he'll have to miss any time after the scary injury in the season opener. We'll have a better idea of whether Pitre will be able to play in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts when the Texans release their first injury report this week on Wednesday. It wouldn't be a surprise if Pitre is unable to play this weekend.
