Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) cleared protocol and will play in Week 13, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: After missing two games, Stroud is set to return in a divisional matchup against the Colts. The Texans' defense has been one of the league's best this year. Outside of deep leagues, Stroud projects as a low-scoring option, making him primarily a streaming candidate. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Stroud should be back after missing a few games with this concussion. The Texans have a huge game in the AFC South against a Colts team coming off a loss to the Chiefs in Week 12. Fantasy GMs should see Stroud as a QB2 in Week 13. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
| Footballguys view: Stroud hasn't played since getting concussed against the Broncos in Week 9. He should be good to go for Week 13 against the Colts. |

Free-agent RB Montrell Johnson (Eagles), TE Tanner McLachlan (Bengals) and TE Gee Scott (Patriots) recently worked out for the Houston Texans.
Link to storyTexans quarterback C.J. Stroud's status hasn't changed since last week. Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. Stroud was injured in the team's Week 9 loss to the Broncos and has missed the last three games.
| Footballguys view: Davis Mills has started all three of those games for Houston and the Texans have won all three to push themselves back into the playoff picture in the AFC. Ryans said that Stroud will return to the starting lineup if he clears the protocol ahead of the team's Week 13 game against the Colts. The next update on Stroud's progress will come with Wednesday's practice. That will also be the case for safety Jalen Pitre, as he also remains in the concussion protocol to kick off the week. |

Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce was placed on waivers by the team on Thursday, Nov. 20.
| Footballguys view: Pierce is now exposed to the NFL waiver process, and more than a few teams should be interested. He's a nearly 1,000-yard rusher not that long ago (2022, 939 yards rushing) and proven on special teams. |
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) isn't expected to play this season.
| Footballguys view: This foot injury was first deemed minor, and Mixon was expected back. Then, the Texans went out and drafted Woody Marks and signed Nick Chubb. While Chubb has been solid we've seen Marks get more work as the season goes on. Without Mixon for the rest of the year, the Texans will keep working this Marks/Chubb backfield. |

Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters at a Tuesday afternoon press conference that QB C.J. Stroud has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Bills. That was an expected development given the short window for him to clear the concussion protocol before his team faces the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Davis Mills will start for the third straight week. The Texans beat the Jaguars and Titans in his first two starts. If all goes well with Stroud, he should make the start in Week 13 against the Colts. Ryans also said that safety Jalen Pitre has been ruled out. Pitre is also in the concussion protocol and will miss his third straight contest. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is expected to practice in limited fashion Tuesday, Nov. 18, but it's unlikely he plays in Week 12.
| Footballguys view: According to multiple reporters, Stroud was indeed on the field Tuesday. While that's a step forward in the concussion protocol, with the Texans hosting the Bills on Thursday night, Stroud is still unlikely to play in Week 12. That puts Davis Mills in line to start another game, though Stroud may be able to return for Houston's Week 13 divisional matchup against Indianapolis. Stroud has not played since suffering his concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Broncos. Mills has beaten the Jaguars and Titans to help get the Texans to 5-5 on the season. |

Davis Mills has quarterbacked the Texans to two straight wins, and it looks like there's a good chance he'll get an opportunity to make it three in a row. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning, Stroud's chances of being cleared in time to play this week are hampered by the fact that Houston will be hosting the Bills on Thursday night this week. We'll follow, but fantasy investors should plan on seeing Mills, who was 26-of-41 for 274 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Titans. |
