The Texans are taking the right approach by being cautious with Stingley because although he is very close to being fully healthy, the last thing you want to do is bring him back too soon. Lovie Smith also said today that Stingley will not be participating in every practice as he works his way back from his previous injury.
Derek Stingley will not practice every practice as he works back from his injury, but he did work today.
Do you expect him to be ready for week 1?
“Yes I do” said Lovie Smith. #Texans

Stingley has all the potential in the world to become the type of player on defense that the Texans have lacked for a very long time and if healthy, he will make a huge impact whenever he is full-go and on the field consistently.
