Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos due to a concussion he suffered early in the second quarter.
Stroud sustained a big hit at the end of a 6-yard scramble, with the back of his head hitting the turf following a hit from Broncos defensive back Kris Abrams-Draine as the QB was attempting to slide. There was no flag on the play.
The Texans QB was tended to on the field by the team’s medical staff as teammates surrounded him. He was escorted to the blue medical tent before going to the locker room.
Stroud was ruled out as the second half began after initially being deemed questionable to return upon his early second-quarter exit.
Davis Mills entered the game for Stroud with 13:30 remaining in the first half and with the Texans holding a 3-0 lead.
Stroud was 6-for-10 passing for 79 yards at the time of his exit.
