Overview

  • Stroud was not present during the open portion of Wednesday’s practice, signaling he has not reached the on‑field stages of the return‑to‑play protocol.
  • KPRC’s Aaron Wilson reports Stroud is still experiencing concussion symptoms, including sensitivity to light and headaches.
  • With Stroud uncertain, Davis Mills is preparing to start after leading a fourth‑quarter comeback against the Jaguars in Week 10 with 292 passing yards and three total touchdowns.
  • Coach DeMeco Ryans said Jalen Pitre also remains in the protocol, while right tackle Tytus Howard returned to practice, indicating he is further along in recovery.
  • NFL protocol requires two symptom‑free practices and sign‑off from an independent neurological consultant; this is Stroud’s second documented NFL concussion.
