Texans' C.J. Stroud: Leaves game briefly
Stroud was replaced by Davis Mills for one play during Sunday's 21-16 win over Arizona in Week 11.
Stroud took a hit from the Cardinals' Jalen Thompson on a blitz early in the third quarter and stayed down briefly. Despite the quarterback's protestations, Houston trainers took him to the sideline, but Stroud returned one play later and threw a bullet to Tank Dell for 18 yards on third-and-17. Stroud appeared to be okay and finished the game without incident, but after the offense amassed 333 yards and scored three touchdowns in the first half, Houston was shut out in the second half and gained just 65 yards following the hit. Don't be surprised if Stroud is handled with care by the Texans during practice ahead of a Week 12 meeting with the Jaguars that could have a big impact on the race for the AFC South title.
