Like the rest of his team Stroud struggled to start the year but has turned it around. The 24-year-old signal-caller has thrown for 1,623 yards so far with 11 touchdowns to only five interceptions. The Texans’ offense remains very much a work in progress, yet Stroud’s play of late has helped the unit make serious progress.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out with a concussion after hitting his head on the turf against the visiting Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Regardless, keeping Stroud healthy and on the field is imperative—and was the basis for those moves—so Sunday's injury is obviously a major concern.
