Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was hit high as he tried to slide during a second-quarter scramble against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

CJ Stroud Foundation’s Instagram Stories shared a post by his mother Kimberly that said, “CJ is ok, thank you for your prayers.”

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud exited Sunday's game against Denver with a concussion, no flag thrown on play that injured him.

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.

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.

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

Fields’ words filled C.J. Stroud with pride. The Houston Texans quarterback said he heard what his college teammate had to say and couldn’t have been more pleased with his message. “I’m just so proud of my brother, his growth with that and just his vulnerability,” Stroud said. “It’s hard.”
