Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out by the team Saturday for its Week 15 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Stroud suffered a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets, and entered concussion protocol. He was not at the team facility this week, missing each of the Texans’ practices, and he did not travel to Tennessee for Sunday’s game.
