The Story in 60 Seconds

Houston Texans defensive back Jalen Pitre suffered an AC joint sprain against the Tennessee Titans and is considered week-to-week, leaving his availability doubtful for Week 6. Carlos Sanchez of Black and Teal writes that Pitre's potential absence could provide an advantage for the Jacksonville Jaguars in their upcoming matchup in London.

Even without Pitre, the Texans feature strong defensive players including Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, and Derek Stingley Jr. However, Sanchez argues that Jacksonville has the offensive firepower with Trevor Lawrence to capitalize on the injury, provided they do not overlook their division rival.
