Quarterback C.J. Stroud is still in the concussion protocol, raising the possibility of him missing a second consecutive game for the Houston Texans. The upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns is crucial for the Texans in the AFC, but Stroud’s health takes precedence. Coach DeMeco Ryans provided an update, stating that Stroud is improving,
but there is uncertainty about when he will be cleared to play. Ryans emphasized that each concussion is unique, and the healing process varies for each individual. The priority is ensuring Stroud’s health, and his return to the field will be determined based on his recovery and readiness.
Stroud sustained the concussion on December 10 during a 30-6 loss to the New York Jets when his head hit the turf after taking a hit in the fourth quarter. The team is closely following the concussion protocol, and decisions about Stroud’s participation will be made with his well-being in mind. Ryans assured that once Stroud is deemed healthy and ready to play, the information will be communicated to the public.
