Texans lose CB Derek Stingley Jr. to hamstring injury, sources confirm

HOUSTON -- The Texans secondary has suffered another setback after cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. injured his hamstring, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.

How long Stingley will be out is still to be determined, but sources said he will miss Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Shaquill Griffin is set to replace Stingley.

Stingley, who was injured during practice Wednesday, is the fourth starting Texans defensive back to suffer an injury this season. Safety Jimmie Ward missed the first two games due to his hip. Safety Jalen Pitre bruised his lung in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens and did not play Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts.
