Overview

  • Stroud returned to full throwing drills at Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp for the first time in nearly a month
  • He was kept out of all six OTA throwing sessions because of general shoulder soreness that staff deemed a precautionary matter
  • Stroud said the discomfort stemmed from aggressive offseason training and confirmed he required no surgery or major treatment
  • During 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills he delivered sharp passes to rookie Jayden Higgins and veteran Christian Kirk without showing any pain
  • Houston spent four of its five draft picks on offensive players and added free agents this spring to provide Stroud with more weapons for 2025
