Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that quarterback C.J. Stroud is expected to play in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This announcement was made on Saturday and reported by ESPN.com reporter DJ Bien-Aime.
The Texans plan to give their key offensive players ample playing time, a change from their previous preseason game where starters did not participate. Stroud will benefit from a fully healthy offensive line, which features new starters at key positions. Braden Smith will start at right tackle, Wyatt Teller is named the left guard, and Keylan Rutledge will take over the center position.
As the Texans prepare for their Thursday night matchup against the Raiders, Ryans noted that the healthy offensive line is a positive development for the team. However, details about how long Stroud will play or any potential roster changes have not been disclosed by the coaching staff.
