Derek Stingley Jr. of the Houston Texans catches a pass during mandatory minicamp at Houston Methodist Training Center June 5, 2024, in Houston.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Stingley\u2019s actions led to a large skirmish, and players surrounded Stingley as others sprinted in from the sidelines to join in.<\/p>\n

There didn\u2019t appear to be any punches thrown after Stingley\u2019s initial hit on Schultz, but it took a little while before things calmed down to resume practice.<\/p>\n

The hit from Stingley happened after new wide receiver Stefon Diggs was hit hard by safety Jimmie Ward during team drills. Schultz stepped in, and what Schultz did clearly ticked off Stingley.<\/p>\n

Texans defensive backs coach Dino Vasso spoke after practice with reporters, talking about Stingley\u2019s tenacity.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a competitive kid,” he said, via the Houston Chronicle. “He relishes the one-on-one moment, and I think that\u2019s the biggest thing for a corner. You can\u2019t teach that as a coach, and he has that inherently, so that\u2019s a good trait to have.”<\/p>\n

Stingley, the third overall pick of the\u00a02022 NFL Draft<\/a>\u00a0out of LSU, solidified himself as the Texans\u2019 top cornerback last season when he delivered 13 passes defended, 39 tackles and five interceptions in 11 games.<\/p>\n

The Texans are hoping Stingley plays a full 17-game slate after he played in just nine games his rookie year before totaling 11 last season.<\/p>\n

Stingley does enjoy lining up against the best receivers in the game, and he doesn\u2019t mind being put on an island. The NFL saw his ball-hawking skills last year, and he\u2019s looking to improve on that in 2024.<\/p>\n

Schultz, who enters year seven in the NFL, found quick success in Houston after spending his first five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Schultz totaled 635 yards on 59 receptions with five touchdowns, aiding rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud during his fantastic inaugural campaign.<\/p>\n

Schultz and Stingley are both key pieces for head coach DeMeco Ryans, who is looking to prove his squad isn\u2019t a one-off after last year\u2019s AFC South title.<\/p>\n

Ryans will need help all over his roster, but making sure his key players are healthy is the top priority in training camp, which is why the Texans will hope scuffles like these diminish as the days go on.<\/p>\n
