Pitre is expected to be “out for some time” with a shoulder injury, Ryans said Monday during his press conference. According to multiple reports, Pitre suffered a torn pectoral muscle but will not need to undergo surgery.

He had one of his better games, recording six tackles, three for losses with one pass defensed. He has two interceptions this season, 30 tackles, four for losses.
