"Stroud dropped back on a third-and-8 with 13:51 remaining in the first half and scanned the field before scrambling. He slid short of the first down mark, but Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine lunged into Stroud's chest, which caused the quarterback's head to smack the ground. Stroud laid on the field, moving gingerly, before he eventually got up and walked off the field on his own power."
"Prior to exiting the game, Stroud was 6-for-10 for 79 yards and led the Texans into field goal range on two drives. This is Stroud's second concussion, with him suffering the first against the New York Jets in December 2023. That one occurred in similar fashion, as the back of Stroud's helmet smacked the turf when he was driven to the ground by defensive tackle Quinnen Williams."
C.J. Stroud was ruled out of the game against the Denver Broncos after suffering a concussion following a second-quarter hit. He scrambled on third-and-8, slid short of the first down and was driven to the turf when Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine lunged into his chest, causing Stroud's head to hit the ground. Stroud moved gingerly, walked off under his own power, entered the medical tent and went to the locker room. Abrams-Draine's unnecessary-roughness flag was overturned on review. Backup quarterback Davis Mills entered the game. Stroud was 6-for-10 for 79 yards and had led the Texans into field-goal range twice. The injury is Stroud's second concussion, following a December 2023 incident against the New York Jets.
