HOUSTON - As confirmed by FOX 26 Sports Director Will Kunkel, Texans QB CJ Stroud (shoulder) is expected to play vs. Colts barring a setback in warmups.
The Houston Texans will play their home opener game on Sunday against the Indiana Colts, but with one big name potentially sitting out.
Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud was a "limited participant" in practice on Friday.
According to the Texans, he is "questionable" for Sunday's game with a right shoulder injury.
Stroud was hit ten times and sacked five times in the opener against the Baltimore Ravens last weekend.
