C.J. Stroud leaves for a concussion check after being hit as he slides
Our Summary
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud sustained an injury during a game against the Broncos after being hit by cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine while sliding following a 6-yard run. Although officials initially flagged the hit, replay review overturned the decision, stating Stroud's slide was late and there was no helmet contact. The impact caused Stroud's head to slam into the turf, leaving him momentarily on the ground before he exited the field. Backup quarterback Davis Mills has taken over for Stroud, who had completed 6 of 10 passes for 79 yards. The Texans currently hold a 3-0 lead over the Broncos.
