Stingley, the third overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, established himself as the Texans' top cornerback last season. He recorded 13 passes defended, 39 tackles, and five interceptions in 11 games.
The Texans hope to see Stingley play a full 17-game slate this season, especially after playing in just nine games as a rookie and 11 last year. Stingley relishes the opportunity to face top receivers and plays with a confident swagger.

Dalton Schultz, entering his seventh NFL season, has quickly become a key contributor for the Texans. After spending his first five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, Schultz joined the Texans and had a productive year in 2023.
Schultz tallied 635 yards on 59 receptions with five touchdowns, providing valuable support to rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. He and Stingley are both essential pieces for head coach DeMeco Ryans, who aims to build on last year's AFC South title.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans recognizes that his roster needs all hands on deck, but his primary concern during training camp is ensuring player health. The Texans will hope to minimize scuffles like the one between Stingley and Schultz as the camp progresses.
The Texans are scheduled to open their preseason schedule on August 13 against the New Orleans Saints. They will face the Los Angeles Rams on August 20 before concluding their preseason slate with a game against the Indianapolis Colts on August 27.
