Overview
- C.J. Stroud remains in the NFL concussion protocol after a Week 9 hit against the Broncos, leaving his Week 10 availability uncertain.
- Ryans said the team will practice as if Davis Mills will start, noting it is uncommon for players to clear protocol in one week.
- Mills replaced Stroud and went 17-of-30 for 137 yards as Houston produced three field goals on 10 drives in the loss to Denver.
- Houston is 3-5 and faces 5-3 Jacksonville on Sunday, with the Jaguars having won the first meeting 17-10 and holding a two-game edge.
- A decision on Stroud is expected later in the week as he moves through the league’s stepwise return-to-play process.
