Moves up depth chart
Stewart is expected to take over as a starting safety after the Texans released C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Wednesday, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Gardner-Johnson's tenure in Houston lasted just three games before head coach DeMeco Ryans pushed the eject button. Ryans talked about having a "great pulse" of the locker room and "what's going on" as factors that influenced his decision. The 30-year-old Stewart is in his fourth season with the Texans and is familiar with the operation. He's played just five snaps in 2025 but has extensive experience as a backup in previous seasons, which makes Ryans believe he can handle the promotion.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Like fellow second-round rookie Carlton Davis, Stewart has made a strong impression in training camp thus far. He's often worked against first-team receivers due to injuries to Brent Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves, giving him valuable experience that should serve him well during his first pro campaign. Stewart got his hands on the ball plenty during his college career at North Carolina, recording six interceptions while defending 41 passes overall.
