BALTIMORE -- Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre suffered a bruised lung during the second quarter of the season-opening 25-9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Pitre was taken to a local hospital, and sources confirmed a report that said Pitre's injury isn't expected to be serious.
The injury occurred when the Ravens faced a third-and-10 from the Texans' 42-yard line with 13 minutes remaining in the half and Baltimore leading 7-0. Pitre blitzed off the edge, hit Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and forced an incompletion.
Pitre went to Houston's medical tent for evaluation and then to the Texans' locker room shortly before heading to the hospital. He finished with two tackles and three quarterback pressures.
News of Pitre's status was first reported by NFL Network.
