Coach DeMeco Ryans said Pitre (concussion) will not play in Thursday night's game against the Bills, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Pitre will miss his third straight contest due to the concussion, and the short week didn't help, as Ryans noted it wasn't enough time for Pitre to clear the protocol. Myles Bryant should again handle an expanded role in the Texans' secondary Thursday night.

Texans' Jalen Pitre: Estimated as limited Monday
Rotowire
The Texans listed Pitre (concussion) as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated report.
Pitre has missed the Texans' last two games while in the league's concussion protocol. Even if he were to log a full practice over the next two days, he would have to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play against the Bills on Thursday. Myles Bryant will continue to operate in an expanded role in the Texans' secondary if Pitre is not cleared to play Week 12.

Pitre entered the league's concussion protocol following the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. He hasn't been able to practice since, and he'll miss a second consecutive game as a result. Pitre's absence means Myles Bryant will continue to work in a meaningful role in the Texans' secondary.

Texans' Jalen Pitre: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Pitre (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.
Pitre was unable to play against the Jaguars in Week 10 while in the league's concussion protocol. He'll have two more chances to return to practice, but he'll need to pass an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play against the Titans on Sunday. Myles Bryant stepped into a prominent role on defense during the Texans' Week 9 over the Jaguars, and he would continue to see an elevated snap count as long as Pitre is sidelined.
Pitre (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Pitre was unable to practice during Week 10 prep while in the league's concussion protocol and won't play in Sunday's AFC South tilt against Jacksonville. Alijah Huzzie was waived by the Texans on Thursday, so Tremon Smith could see more snaps at slot corner in Pitre's absence.

Texans' Jalen Pitre: Sits out practice
Rotowire
Pitre (concussion) didn't participate in Houston's practice Wednesday.
Pitre seemingly suffered a concussion during the team's Week 9 loss to Denver. The 26-year-old will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's eligible to return to the field. If Pitre can't play in Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Alijah Huzzie would likely serve as the team's starting slot corner in his place.
Pitre (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
A foot injury limited Pitre's participation in Wednesday's practice, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The fourth-year corner has 39 tackles (25 solo) and five pass defenses (three interceptions) through seven regular-season games.

Texans' Jalen Pitre: Nursing foot issue
Rotowire
Pitre (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Pitre was on the field for nearly all of Houston's defensive snaps during Sunday's game versus the 49ers, so it's not immediately apparent when he suffered the foot injury. In any case, he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Houston releases its final practice report of the week Friday.
Pitre recorded nine total tackles (four solo) in Monday night's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks.
The Baylor product finished with the second-most tackles on the Texans' defense during Monday's loss, trailing Kamari Lassiter's 10-stop performance. Pitre has now tallied 31 total tackles and five passes defended, including three interceptions, through the Texans' first six games this season. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks in the Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.

Texans' Jalen Pitre: Records big pick
Rotowire
Pitre had three tackles and three defensed passes, including one interception, in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.
Pitre followed the eyes of Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and stepped in front of the receiver for a potential momentum-shifting interception in the fourth quarter. To that point, Houston's offense sputtered, but one play later, C.J. Stroud found Nico Collins for a 50-yard touchdown strike to knot the game at 10-10. Unfortunately for Houston, Collins lost a fumble later in the quarter as the team was driving for the go-ahead score. Pitre has 14 tackles and three passes defensed, including one interception, through the first three games.
