Texans' C.J. Stroud, Tytus Howard and Jalen Pitre Still in Concussion Protocol as Titans Week Begins

Each must complete two symptom-free practices with independent neurological clearance before returning.

Overview

  • Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday their availability for Sunday against the Titans remains uncertain as they progress through the week.
  • All three were at the team facility but had not practiced, signaling some improvement without meeting return-to-play benchmarks.
  • The concussions occurred in the Nov. 2 loss to the Broncos, and Ryans has voiced frustration that the hit on Stroud was not flagged.
  • Houston's schedule includes practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the protocol requires two symptom-free sessions plus clearance from an independent doctor.
  • If Stroud is not cleared, Davis Mills is expected to start after leading a comeback win over the Jaguars.
