While the duo is a welcome addition to the lineup, Houston (6-4) could be without two starters in the secondary. rookie cornerback left the team in the third quarter of the loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10 and could miss prime time.
Fellow cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is coming off an injury and could now miss the Lone Star Battle, which should be a must-win game for Houston.
Here's an update on the Texans' rookie defenseman heading to AT&T Stadium.
Update on Kamari Lassiter's injury
Lassiter, who missed two games earlier in the season with a shoulder injury, left Sunday with a concussion. He did not practice during the open session on Thursday or Friday as he is following protocol.
Since the Texans have an additional day of training, everything is pushed back by one day. Typically, Thursdays give a better indication of a player's status as they are the busiest training sessions of the week. That changed on Friday.

That doesn't mean he's playing. Same as last week with Nico Collins, but he's at training.

However, Lassiter appeared at practice on Saturday. Similar to Collins, the Texans could get used to him but are opting to rest him and wait until their Week 12 showdown against the Tennessee Titans.
How long will Kamari Lassiter be out?
Before Lassiter can return, he must clear concussion protocol. Saturday's practice is an indication that he's nearing the final stages, but it doesn't mean he's ready to go.
The Texans had two players miss practice during the week and still play the following Sunday. Defensive tackle Foley Fatukaski missed practice and returned to Friday's walkthrough before appearing in Week 7 and Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers and Lions, respectively.
Tight end Dalton Schultz did not practice in Week 2 due to an ankle injury, but managed to earn a win over the Chicago Bears.
If Lassiter misses Monday's game, the status of a Nov. 24 game against the Titans would be in question. Houston would only have two full days of practice before having to release the final injury report on Friday.
Kamari Lassiter statistics
Lassiter, a second-round pick from Georgia, recorded two interceptions last week, including one before halftime. In eight games, he has collected 29 tackles, eight pass breakups and three interceptions.
Texans CB depth chart
With Stingley and Lassiter potentially out, here are the remaining cornerbacks on the active roster:
- Jeff Okudah
- Kris Boyd
Okudah, who signed a one-year deal this offseason after four years with the Lions and Atlanta Falcons, was expected to return to practice from injured reserve last week. As he practices, the former No. 3 overall pick has not yet been added to the roster.
The Texans could also promote D'Angelo Ross, who was re-signed to the practice squad earlier this week. He started two games in place of Lassiter in Week 5 and Week 6.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN and ABC.
