Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
M.J. Stewart — Active
Stewart paced Houston in tackles, and he contributed a half-sack of J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter. Stewart missed the first four weeks of the campaign due to a knee injury and was limited to work on special teams upon his return in Week 5, but he started and logged a 95 percent defensive snap share Sunday in the absence of Reed Blankenship (concussion/hand). The Texans are on bye in Week 8, so Blankenship will have extra time to recover ahead of Houston's Week 9 matchup against the Chargers.
M.J. Stewart — Active
The Texans activated Stewart from the reserve/PUP list Saturday. The free safety has finally recovered from his quadriceps injury and a recent knee injury. Stewart is ready to return to the field and will serve as the main reserve option behind Calen Bullock.
M.J. Stewart — Questionable
Although he's still listed as questionable, the fact that Stewart was removed from the PUP list after three-straight full practices makes it likely that he'll make his 2026 regular-season debut Sunday. Stewart's 2025 season was ended by a quad injury that required surgery in early November, but he was tagged with a knee injury during Week 5 prep. Stewart's return would solidify the Texans' safety depth behind Calen Bullock and Reed Blankenship.
M.J. Stewart — Questionable
Stewart was a full practice participant all week, and there's a chance that he is cleared to make his 2026 regular-season debut in Sunday's AFC South tilt. The veteran safety opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list due to a quad injury, which has recently been reclassified as a knee issue. Stewart's return would bolster the Texans' depth at safety behind starters Reed Blankenship and Calen Bullock.
M.J. Stewart — Out
Stewart opened the season on the PUP list and was designated to return Sept. 23. He began this week with a limited practice session Wednesday before upgrading to full participation Thursday. Stewart isn't eligible to play this Sunday, but he could make his season debut in Week 5 against Tennessee.
