Houston’s Stroud returns to practice with Texans but remains in concussion protocol

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:09:02 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, but the star rookie remains in the concussion protocol and his status for Sunday’s game against Tennessee is uncertain.“He’s in stage four of the concussion protocol, still has one more phase,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. Stroud has missed the past two games after sustaining a concussion in a Dec. 10 loss to the Jets when his head bounced off the turf after taking a hit with about 6½ minutes left in the fourth quarter.“It’s encouraging to have C.J. back out at practice today, it’s encouraging to see him,” Ryans said. “I think it just lifts everybody’s spirits to see him back doing well. He’s still progressing in the right direction so (I’m) happy about that.”The Texans (8-7) remain in contention for both the AFC South title and a wild-card playoff spot, but a loss Sunday would drop their chances to reach the postseason for the first time since 2019 to just 13%.
