Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud remains in concussion protocol following a massive hit he took during the team’s 6-30 loss to the New York Jets.
“We’ll see how he progresses throughout the week,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said.
Stroud was replaced by Davis Mills, who could start next week if Stroud doesn’t pass medical clearance.
He has had a strong rookie season, leading the league in passing yardage. However, when playing against the Jets, Stroud struggled before the concussion, only throwing for 91 yards on ten for 23 passing. He also took four sacks.
