Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said C.J. Stroud (concussion) will not play in Houston’s Week 12 game against the Bills.

18 November 2025

This did seem to the way it was going for most of the week, even with Stroud returning to practice today. The good news is that a return against the Colts in Week 13 seems plausible for Stroud, who has now missed three full games with this concussion suffered against the Broncos in Week 9. Davis Mills will shepherd the Texans through Thursday Night Football against the Bills.
