Texans' C.J. Stroud: Avoids mistakes in win
C.J. Stroud completed 15 of 31 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. He added two rushes for five yards.Stroud led the Houston Texans to consecutive scoring drives late in the first quarter and into the second quarter, during which he completed long passes of 46 and 53 yards while also capping a touchdown drive with a nine-yard pass to Woody Marks. He didn't muster much production thereafter, as Houston's only additional score came on a short field as the result of a turnover of downs by Kansas City. Positively, Stroud did not turn the ball over and helped Houston continue to surge toward a playoff spot, though he has only one total touchdown in two games since returning from a concussion.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Strong effort in Week 13 return
C.J. Stroud completed 22 of 35 passes for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing once for no gain in the Houston Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.Stroud made his return from a three-game absence due to a concussion and looked very sharp despite the multi-game layoff, finishing with his second-highest passing yardage total of the season. He spread the ball around effectively to six different targets, and after rookie Jayden Higgins had built up plenty of momentum while working with Davis Mills in the previous three games, Stroud helped extend his strong stretch of play by connecting with him on five occasions for 65 yards. Now back to full health for the stretch run, Stroud figures to be busy once again in a Week 14 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Set to return Sunday
Coach Demeco Ryans confirmed Friday that C.J. Stroud cleared the concussion protocol and will play Sunday at Indianapolis, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.Since suffering a concussion Week 9 against the Broncos, Stroud ceded three consecutive starts to backup Davis Mills, but after logging back-to-back full sessions to begin Week 13 prep and clearly gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, the former will resume leading the Houston Texans offense this weekend. Stroud will be facing a Colts defense Sunday that has given up the seventh-most passing yards (2,905) to opposing quarterbacks in 11 games this season.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Practicing Wednesday
C.J. Stroud (concussion) participated in practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.The Houston Texans' upcoming injury report will reveal Stroud's official participation level, but Wilson indicates that the QB is expected to clear the NFL's concussion protocol at some point this week. Stroud has missed three straight games, but in the event that he is cleared for Week 13 action, Davis Mills -- who has gone 3-0 while filling in -- would be in line to return to working as Houston's No. 2 signal caller.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Return could boost offense
The eventual return of C.J. Stroud (concussion) could aid a Houston offense that struggled in the second half of last Thursday's 23-19 win over Buffalo, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports. "We still gotta do a better job of moving the ball in the second half," Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday. "I don't think our second-half offense was good enough."The Houston Texans had a strong first half against the Bills with 20 points, but the offense was limited to just 60 net yards after the break. Four of the team's five second-half possessions ended in a punt, including three three-and-outs. The one scoring drive was a squandered opportunity that began at Buffalo's 22-yard line and ended with a field goal. A healthy Stroud could be the elixir to solve the execution woes. His accuracy and arm talent are considered better than those of fill-in starting quarterback Davis Mills, which means defenses would be forced to respect the passing game. Ryans said Monday that Stroud remains in concussion protocol, but the Texans have optimism about his chances of playing Sunday in Indianapolis after he returned to practice last week.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Remains in concussion protocol
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that C.J. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.Stroud was concussed 22 days ago against the Broncos, so he's been dealing with symptoms for three-plus weeks, an unusually lengthy amount of time, though concussions aren't the same for every player. Ryans said Stroud will start once he clears the five-stage protocol, but it appears as if Davis Mills could get yet another start under center for Houston next Sunday in a very important game on the road against the Colts. Mills is 3-0 in three starts since stepping in for Stroud and has averaged 206.3 passing yards per game with five touchdowns and one interception in that span.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Ruled out for Thursday night
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans ruled C.J. Stroud (concussion) out for Thursday's game against the Bills, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Stroud's headaches and sensitivity to light have subsided since he exited the Texans' Nov. 2 loss to the Broncos due to a concussion, but he remains in the five-step protocol and won't be cleared prior to Thursday. As a result, Davis Mills will draw a third consecutive start. Stroud is slated to practice in some fashion Tuesday, and if all goes well he would be on a path to getting cleared ahead of the Texans' Week 13 game at Indianapolis

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Likely to remain out Week 12
C.J. Stroud (concussion) is expected to practice Tuesday, but the quarterback appears unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Bills, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle anticipates that the Houston Texans will list Stroud as a limited participant Tuesday in what would mark his first practice activity of any kind since sustaining a concussion in the team's Nov. 2 loss to the Broncos. Though Stroud still has a chance to clear the five-step protocol before Thursday, the short week definitely works against him. Davis Mills appears headed for a third consecutive start, but Stroud is tracking toward a return in Week 13 versus the Colts.
