Former LSU cornerback [autotag]Derek Stingley Jr.[/autotag] will likely be unavailable for the near future after suffering a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday with the Houston Texans.
Stingley could miss several weeks and may ultimately end up on the injured reserve, according to a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston. Stingley becomes the fourth starter in the Texans secondary to suffer an injury.
Stingley recovered from a Lisfranc injury that cost him most of his final season at LSU, and the third overall pick appeared in nine games last year, making 43 tackles and an interception before a hamstring injury ended his rookie campaign in Week 10.
