Jaguars, Houston Texans and Stroud
Digest more
Be it a strange situation in Arizona or the reigning Rookie of the Year suffering a grotesque injury late in a blowout loss last week, quarterback injuries are again a main topic for Week 10 of the NFL season.
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 has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a concussion in a Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos, head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Wednesday.
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.
In a game they need to win to keep in playoff contention, the Texans will be without their starting quarterback.
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.
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.
