Texans Rule Out C.J. Stroud for Thursday vs. Bills After Concussion

The short week under the league’s concussion protocol leaves insufficient time for clearance.

Overview

  • C.J. Stroud returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since his Week 9 concussion.
  • Coach DeMeco Ryans said Stroud will not play Thursday, citing the limited turnaround before kickoff.
  • Davis Mills will start a third straight game after guiding Houston to wins over the Jaguars and Titans to reach 5-5.
  • KPRC2 reports Stroud’s headaches and light sensitivity have subsided as he continues through the protocol.
  • Safety Jalen Pitre remains in concussion protocol and will also be out for Thursday’s game.
