    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Produces two TDs in Tennessee

    C.J. Stroud completed 26 of 34 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans. He added five rushing yards and a TD on six carries.Neither team had gotten the ball into the end zone at halftime, but Stroud fixed that by scampering for a two-yard TD in the third quarter before finding Jaylin Noel for a nine-yard score in the fourth. Despite the Houston Texans' 1-4 record, Stroud still has yet to throw an INT this season, compiling a 6:0 TD:INT in five games, and he hasn't committed a turnover since Week 1. The fourth-year QB also has reinforcements coming for his receiving corps after Houston traded for Marvin Harrison on Sunday. Stroud will look to build on this performance in a Week 6 clash with the Jaguars.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Comes up short in wild loss to Dallas

    C.J. Stroud completed 21 of 31 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys. He added 12 yards on two carries.With top receiver Nico Collins back in the fold after a hamstring strain, Stroud posted his best numbers of the season -- he threw for 353 yards in Week 2, but it came on 55 attempts and he didn't produce a TD. Both of Stroud's scores Sunday went to Collins, and through four games he has a 5:0 TD:INT, with his only two turnovers being a pair of Week 1 fumbles. The fourth-year QB will try to lead Houston to its first win of the year in a Week 5 road trip to Tennessee.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Poor showing in Week 3 loss

    C.J. Stroud completed 16 of 27 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.Houston's offense struggled for a second consecutive week in the absence of top wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring). Stroud threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau in the second quarter, but the Houston Texans dropped to 0-3 for the second consecutive season. Houston bounced back to finish 12-5 in the 2025 regular season, but climbing out of an early hole again won't be easy, especially with the offensive line struggling to create running lanes or protect Stroud, who has been sacked 10 times through three games. Stroud will try to get off the schneid in an all-Texas Week 4 home game against the Cowboys.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Atypical numbers in loss

    C.J. Stroud completed 30 of 55 passes for 353 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed three times for 29 yards in the Houston Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.On a day when he was missing top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) and led the Texans to only six points, Stroud somehow found his way to his highest passing yardage total since Week 10 of his rookie 2023 campaign. Stroud largely got there by incessantly targeting Dalton Schultz, who was on the receiving end of 12 of the quarterback's completions and accounted for 140 of his yards. The fourth-year signal-caller managed to help the Texans to only three points after halftime, however, and he took all four sacks he sustained in the fourth quarter. Stroud did record completions to eight different targets overall in the absence of Collins, and he could have his top wideout back in the fold for an important early-season Week 3 divisional road clash against the Colts next Sunday.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Two TDs, two fumbles in Week 1 loss

    C.J. Stroud completed 26 of 38 passes for 274 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills. He also rushed twice for 15 yards and fumbled twice, losing both fumbles.Stroud guided a pair of touchdown drives capped by David Montgomery runs before finding Nico Collins for a 12-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. The 24-year-old QB gave the Houston Texans a one-point lead with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Montgomery in the fourth quarter, but the Bills responded with a 9-3 run to take a five-point lead with 1:36 remaining. Houston's final drive got to first-and-goal at Buffalo's nine-yard line before Stroud took two sacks in a three-play span, the last of which ended in his second lost fumble of the game. Turnovers in big moments have become a recurring issue for Stroud, who turned the ball over seven times in two games last postseason. Stroud and the Texans will try to bounce back in Week 2 against the Bengals.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Extension talks paused

    C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans will wait until after the 2026 season to work out a long-term contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The two sides attempted to reach an agreement prior to Sunday's regular-season opener against the Bills. However, it looks like talks between Stroud and the Texans have stalled, and a long-term deal will be revisited following the conclusion of the upcoming season. Entering his fourth year in the NFL, Stroud is looking to reclaim the same form he had in his rookie campaign in 2023, when he was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year after completing 63.9 percent of his passes for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions across 15 regular-season games while adding 39 carries for 167 yards and three scores.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Injuries and trade reshape WR room

    C.J. Stroud heads into the regular season with Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel (hamstring) and Kayshon Boutte as his top wide receivers, while Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports that Tank Dell (knee) will begin the season on IR with a designation to return.The Houston Texans traded for Boutte from New England after Jayden Higgins tore his ACL, knocking the 2025 second-round pick out for the season. Boutte's 551 receiving yards for the Patriots in the 2025 regular season would have ranked second among Houston's wideouts behind Collins. Hutchinson had a career-high 428 receiving yards during the 2025 regular season, Noel has some intriguing upside as a 2025 third-round pick, and Houston is hoping to get Dell back eventually from the knee injury that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. Stroud is looking to bounce back after a 2025 campaign in which he threw for career lows in both passing yards (3,041) and touchdown passes (19) during the regular season before coughing up seven turnovers in two playoff games.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Leads TD drive in brief outing

    C.J. Stroud completed four of six passes for 27 yards in Thursday's 22-20 preseason loss to the Raiders.Stroud got the start in Houston's second preseason game after sitting out the opener. He played only one possession but led a touchdown drive, which was capped by a 20-yard Woody Marks touchdown run. Despite some struggles down the stretch last season, Stroud retains his role as the starting quarterback for a Houston Texans offense that will be without second-year wide receiver Jayden Higgins (knee) in 2026.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: On track to play Thursday

    C.J. Stroud is expected to play a few series during Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.On Wednesday, head coach DeMeco Ryans told Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle that he was preparing to rest most of the team's starters for Thursday's game, but that apparently applied mainly to the Houston Texans' defensive starters. Ryans wants to get a more thorough evaluation of the offensive personnel Thursday, especially when it comes to determining Houston's five starters on the offensive line heading into Week 1. According to Wilson, Stroud is expected to take around 20-to-25 snaps, so he'll likely be on the field for around two or three possessions before turning the game over to backups Davis Mills and Brett Rypien.

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Change in plans for Thursday's contest

    C.J. Stroud and other starters will now be rested for Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.Coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday's joint practice with the Raiders gave the starters enough competitive work. He didn't explicitly say so, but his decision likely is related to WR Jayden Higgins suffering an ACL tear during Tuesday's practice. With his No. 2 receiver out for the season, Stroud is looking at a shaky group of pass catchers beyond standout No. 1 Nico Collins.
