Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that quarterback C.J. Stroud will participate in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This announcement was made on Saturday, as reported by ESPN.com reporter DJ Bien-Aime.
The coaching staff intends to give key offensive players considerable playing time, a change from the previous preseason game where starters were held out. Stroud will be backed by a fully healthy offensive line, which includes new starters at crucial positions. Braden Smith will start at right tackle, Wyatt Teller has been assigned to left guard, and Keylan Rutledge will take over at center.
As the Texans prepare for their matchup with Las Vegas, Ryans noted the positive impact of having a healthy offensive line during this phase of training camp. However, details regarding how long Stroud will be in the game or any potential roster changes have not been disclosed by the coaching staff.
