After Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud exited Sunday's game early following a hard hit to the head, Denver Broncos

On a third-and-8 play deep in Houston's own territory, Stroud scrambled up the middle for a six yard game before sliding down short of the line to gain. As the quarterback started his slide, Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine dove to tackle Stroud and hit him in the chest.

The Houston Texans have an update on C.J. Stroud following a day after falling short in an 18-15 loss against the Denver Broncos.

The Houston Texans 2025 season is a dumpster fire. C.J. Stroud is in concussion protocol, the offensive line is in the witness protection program, and offensive coordinator Nick Caley needs to find a real estate agent back in New England.

The Houston Texans could make a big trade to bolster their group around quarterback C.J. Stroud before the deadline.

It's also worth noting that the Broncos’ All-Pro linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to the fold after missing one game through suspension, so it will be no mean feat for Stroud and Co. to gain positive traction irrespective of Surtain being sidelined.
