Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is currently taking it easy at organized team activities, with his throwing duties on hold due to a tight pectoral muscle. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC, the issue is deemed “relatively minor.”
During these sessions, the former Pro Bowler was seen handing off to the running backs and sticking mostly to rehab activities on the sidelines, where he was accompanied by offensive coordinator Nick Caley. In his absence, backup quarterback Davis Mills took the reins of the first-team offense.
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has downplayed concerns over Stroud’s condition, with Caley echoing that sentiment, emphasizing that he has “no concerns whatsoever.”
Reflecting on last season, Stroud had a bumpier ride compared to his stellar rookie year. He logged fewer yards and touchdowns, alongside a dip in completion percentage. Additionally, he witnessed an uptick in interceptions and sacks.
Despite the recent setback, the 23-year-old Stroud remains a key player for the Texans, having secured the Offensive Rookie of the Year accolade back in 2023.
