Ruled out for Thursday night Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans ruled Stroud (concussion) out for Thursday's game against the Bills, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Stroud's headaches and sensitivity to light have subsided since he exited the Texans' Nov. 2 loss to the Broncos due to the concussion, but he remains in the five-step protocol and isn't on track to be cleared prior to Thursday. As a result, Davis Mills will draw a third consecutive start in his stead, but on a positive note, Stroud is slated to practice in some fashion Tuesday for the first time since sustaining the head injury. If all goes well for Stroud in Tuesday's session, he would seemingly be on a path to getting cleared to play ahead of the Texans' Week 13 game at Indianapolis on Nov. 30.

Likely to remain out Week 12 Stroud (concussion) is expected to practice Tuesday, but the quarterback appears unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Bills, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle anticipates that the Texans will list Stroud as a limited participant Tuesday in what would mark his first practice activity of any kind since sustaining a concussion in the team's Nov. 2 loss to the Broncos. Though Stroud still has a chance to clear the five-step protocol before Thursday, a lack of full practice participation on a short week would leave him highly unlikely to start against the Bills. Davis Mills thus looks headed for a third consecutive start, though Stroud's expected return to practice Tuesday would put in him in a good position to return to the lineup Week 13 versus the Colts on Nov. 30.

Listed DNP on Monday Stroud (concussion) didn't participate in Monday's walkthrough.
Impact Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reported earlier Monday that Stroud remained in the concussion protocol, and his lack of activity to begin Week 12 prep indicates that he hasn't made any tangible progress in his recovery. Stroud thus appears to be trending toward a third absence in a row Thursday against the Bills, which would pave the way for Davis Mills to start a third consecutive game. The Texans may confirm as much when they post their final injury report of the week Wednesday.

Remains in concussion protocol Stroud is still in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Monday and his availability for Thursday's home game against the Bills remains uncertain, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Ho...
Impact Stroud has missed two straight games and now faces a short week of preparation before Houston's appearance on Thursday Night Football, and he has yet to resume practicing. As such, if Stroud remains a non-participant Monday, it will forebode Davis Mills drawing another start. Even if Stroud gets back on the practice field Monday there are no guarantees he'll be available Thursday, as before returning to game action the 2023 third-round pick will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.
