Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud left Sunday’s game against the New York Jets after the back of his head hit the turf on a hit.
The hit took place on the fourth quarter with the Jets leading, 24-6. Quinnen Williams hit Stroud after he released the ball, and the back of Stroud’s head bounced off the turf at the end of the tackle.
Stroud remained down in pain for several moments, but was eventually able to walk off the field on his own.
He walked to the sideline medical tent for evaluation and was replaced in the game by back up Davis Mills. Stroud then went to the locker room as Mills remained in the game. The Texans then announced that he was in concussion protocol and questionable to return.
Stroud was under constant pressure from the Jets defensive front throughout Sunday’s game. Prior to his exit, he was sacked four times for a loss of 38 yards.
