That includes quarterback C.J. Stroud, right tackle Tytus Howard and nickel Jalen Pitre due to concussions with all three remaining in the NFL protocol Friday morning, along with kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn due to a quadriceps injury and right guard Ed Ingram with a knee injury.

Stroud was forced to exit the game in the first quarter after hitting his head on the field. The Texans QB was tackled as he slid after scrambling down the middle for a six-yard gain. Stroud was not able to return, and it was later revealed that he had been placed under the NFL’s concussion protocol.

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 quarterback C.J. Stroud has exited the Broncos game with an apparent head injury caused by a big hit.

But the Texans did get some good news coming out of Thursday afternoon's practice. Two of the eight starters that were listed on the team's first injury report of the week were back on the practice field today.
