Texans quarterback C.J.

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, but the star rookie remains in the concussion protocol and his status for Sunday’s game against Tennessee is uncertain. “He's in stage four of the concussion protocol, still has one more phase,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. Stroud has missed the past two games after sustaining a concussion in a Dec. 10 loss to the Jets when his head bounced off the turf after taking a hit with about 6½ minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The Texans announced Saturday that the star rookie quarterback did not travel with the team to Tennessee and would miss the game. Stroud was injured in last Sunday’s 30-6 loss to the Jets when his head bounced off the turf after taking a hit with about 6 ½ minutes left in the fourth quarter. With Stroud out, the Texans (7-6) will look to Davis Mills or Case Keenum to start against the Titans.
C.J. Stroud is in the concussion protocol after injuring his head in the final minutes of the Houston Texans’ 30-6 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday. The Texans are uncertain if their star rookie quarterback will be ready for next Sunday’s game against AFC South-rival Tennessee. “We'll see how he progresses throughout the week,” Houston coach DeMeco Ryans said.
The Houston Texans beat Arizona on Sunday for their third straight victory. Next up is an AFC South showdown with Jacksonville, where a win would put them in first place in the division. “If we’re playing meaningful football late in the season, then that shows the growth,” first-year coach DeMeco Ryans said.
