C.J. Stroud Injury Status

Houston Texans • QB
Latest Injury Status
active
A

Neither team had gotten the ball into the end zone at halftime, but Stroud fixed that by scampering for a two-yard TD in the third quarter before finding Jaylin Noel for a nine-yard score in the fourth. Despite the Texans' 1-4 record, Stroud still has yet to throw an INT this season, compiling a 6:0 TD:INT in five games, and he hasn't committed a turnover since Week 1. The fourth-year QB also has reinforcements coming for his receiving corps after Houston traded for Marvin Harrison on Sunday. Stroud will look to build on this performance in a Week 6 clash with the Jaguars.
