HOUSTON -- The Texans have ruled rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud doubtful for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
On Friday, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Stroud is "feeling better but still is in the concussion protocol" as he hasn't practiced with the team this week.
Stroud suffered a concussion when New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams delivered a blow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-6 loss that knocked him out of the game.
Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills is expected to start place of Stroud for the first time all season if the rookie signal caller can't play.
