C.J. Stroud will start, but Texans rule out Jonathan Greenard.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is set to make a comeback after a two-game absence due to a concussion. Having successfully completed the concussion protocol earlier this week, he is now free of any injury designation following full participation in Thursday and Friday’s practice sessions.
In addition to Stroud, several other players are also expected to return to action for the Texans. Receivers Nico Collins (calf) and Noah Brown (knee), left tackle Laremy Tunsil (knee), and offensive guard Shaq Mason (calf) have all been cleared and are no longer on the injury report after exiting it on Friday.
Unfortunately, defensive end Jonathan Greenard, with 12.5 sacks and 22 quarterback hits this season, will not be available for the upcoming game due to an ankle injury that kept him out of practice throughout the week.
The Texans have a few players listed as questionable for the upcoming game. Defensive end Will Anderson (ankle), defensive tackle Maliek Collins (hip), cornerback Steven Nelson (foot/hamstring/hand), fullback Andrew Beck (calf), and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (ankle) are all in this category. Collins and Nelson did not practice all week, while Anderson and Rankins returned to limited work on Friday. Beck is a new addition to the injury report as of Friday.
