CJ Stroud suffered a concussion in the Texans Week 10 loss to the Broncos. Fantasy Football managers must shift their focus to a new quarterbacking option.

C.J. Stroud entered concussion protocol after exiting Week 9 with an injury. Here's a look at how long the Texans QB will be out.

Carolina held out running back Rico Dowdle from practice on Wednesday due to a quad injury. This comes after the back ran for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the upset win over Green Bay, so his status will certainly be worth monitoring. Meanwhile, guard Chandler Zavala (elbow) was also held out. Safety Lathan Ransom (illness) was limited.

Coming from a scramble out of the pocket, Stroud would be tackled by Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, where his head would take a hard hit to the turf, remain down for a few extra moments, and leave the game for what would be deemed a concussion for the Texans quarterback.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has exited the Broncos game with an apparent head injury caused by a big hit.

That includes quarterback C.J. Stroud, right tackle Tytus Howard and nickel Jalen Pitre due to concussions with all three remaining in the NFL protocol Friday morning, along with kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn due to a quadriceps injury and right guard Ed Ingram with a knee injury.

Stroud was forced to exit the game in the first quarter after hitting his head on the field. The Texans QB was tackled as he slid after scrambling down the middle for a six-yard gain. Stroud was not able to return, and it was later revealed that he had been placed under the NFL’s concussion protocol.

CJ Stroud Foundation’s Instagram Stories shared a post by his mother Kimberly that said, “CJ is ok, thank you for your prayers.”
