Concussion sidelines Texans quarterback CJ Stroud | JQJO

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a concussion after a second-quarter hit. After scrambling on third down, he slid short of the marker and his head struck the turf following contact from cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine. Stroud lay briefly, then walked off under his own power to the medical tent and locker room. An initial unnecessary-roughness flag on Abrams-Draine was overturned on review. Backup Davis Mills entered. Before exiting, Stroud went 6-of-10 for 79 yards and led two drives into field-goal range. It was his second concussion, the first in December 2023.
