The Houston Texans have been dealt a major blow as wide receiver Keke Stroud is still in the concussion protocol and could miss his second consecutive game on Sunday. Stroud suffered the concussion in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has yet to be cleared to return to the field.
The Texans have been relying heavily on Stroud this season, as he has been one of their most productive receivers. He has caught 35 passes for 439 yards and two touchdowns this season, and his absence will be felt if he is unable to play on Sunday.
The Texans have been dealing with a number of injuries this season, and the loss of Stroud is just the latest setback. The team is already without wide receiver Will Fuller, who is out for the season with a torn ACL, and tight end Jordan Akins, who is out with a concussion.
The Texans will need to find a way to make up for the loss of Stroud if he is unable to play on Sunday. They will likely turn to veteran receiver Randall Cobb, who has been a reliable target for quarterback Deshaun Watson this season.
The Texans are hoping that Stroud will be able to return to the field soon, but until then they will have to make do without him. It will be a difficult task, but the team is confident that they can get the job done without him.
