Texans Sideline C.J. Stroud for Thursday Night Game
The Houston Texans have decided to sideline quarterback C.J. Stroud for their upcoming Thursday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed in a press conference that Stroud is not cleared to participate in the game due to ongoing concussion protocol requirements.
Stroud Out for Thursday Night Game
Despite returning to practice on Tuesday, Stroud will miss another week of game action. This decision was anticipated, considering the limited time available for him to fully recover and pass the concussion protocol.
Davis Mills Takes Over
In Stroud’s absence, Davis Mills will assume the starting quarterback role for the third consecutive week. Mills previously led the team to victories against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans in his first two starts.
Looking Ahead
If his recovery progresses as hoped, Stroud is expected to return to the field for Week 13, where the Texans will face the Indianapolis Colts.
Injury Updates
- C.J. Stroud: Ruled out for Thursday’s matchup due to concussion protocol.
- Davis Mills: Starting quarterback for the third week in a row.
- Jalen Pitre: Also sidelined; in concussion protocol, missing his third straight game.
The Texans will aim to maintain their winning momentum as they head into the game against the Bills, while Stroud and Pitre focus on their recovery. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Stroud can return for the crucial match against the Colts.
