C.J. Stroud Worries Texans Fans with Rough Debut vs. Patriots in NFL Preseason

Quarterback C.J. Stroud's Thursday night preseason debut did not go as the Houston Texans rookie would have hoped.

The No. 2 selection of the 2023 draft was picked off on his first drive of the Texans' preseason opener against the New England Patriots.

Rough start for CJ Stroud in Foxboro. Texans rookie takes a sack, chased out of the pocket, then picked on successive plays after Houston picked up a first down to start the possession. We'll see if he gets another possesion.
