Texans Quarterback C.J. Stroud Out Second Straight Game with Concussion

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will miss his second consecutive game due to a concussion, as announced by coach DeMeco Ryans. This marks the second time in his three-year career that Stroud has missed multiple games due to a concussion, with the current injury sustained in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. He has not practiced since the incident, and his potential return for Week 12's Thursday night game against the Buffalo Bills could be complicated by the short turnaround. Backup quarterback Davis Mills will start in his place, fresh off a Week 10 performance where he led the Texans to a comeback victory over the Jaguars with two passing touchdowns and a crucial rushing score.
