C.J. Stroud injury update: New hope for Houston Texans as quarterback returns to face Indianapolis Colts | NFL News – The Times of India
On Friday, November 28, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced C.J. Stroud’s official return. The quarterback will be accessible for the Indianapolis Colts game tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. CET). Stroud hasn’t been able to start since suffering a concussion during the Week 9 game against the Broncos. On Sunday, Stroud will return to the saddle for his team’s Week 13 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, the division leaders. In an effort to rescue their season by qualifying for the playoffs, the Texans will want to win and gain ground in the AFC South.
Houston Texans get major injury boost as C.J. Stroud returns for must-win Week 13 clash
According to Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans revealed on Friday that safety Jalen Pitre and quarterback C.J. Stroud had cleared concussion protocol and would play against the Colts in Week 13 after missing several games.After missing two games due to a concussion in Week 9, Stroud resumed practice in Week 12. He only played on Tuesday, and he missed another game due to Houston’s short week leading up to a Thursday night game against the Bills. Fortunately, backup Davis Mills led Houston to a 3-0 record while filling in, making this game in Indianapolis crucial. According to Stroud, that gave the team a boost when their season was in danger of ending.Stroud said this week, according to ESPN:“You see guys step up and start to take more on the plate and rise to the occasion.. Of course, we didn’t start off the best. But we know what type of team we have. We’re very talented.”The good news for Houston supporters is that he has been cleared to play after completing all three days of practice this week. It may not seem like it, but his comeback at this point in the season is crucial. Given the situation, Houston cannot afford to slow down, and if it wants to maintain its momentum, all of its best players must be available. Stroud had passed for 1,702 yards and 11 touchdowns before the incident.
Texans turn back to C.J. Stroud as struggling offense seeks spark in crucial playoff push
Stroud, who was previously chosen with the second overall choice in the draft, was named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2023. Despite a minor decline in his performance in year two, the Ohio State product led the Texans to a 10-7 record last season.However, Stroud has struggled with injuries and inconsistent play in 2025. He has only averaged 212.8 yards passing per game while going 3-5 as a starter. He is also the greatest choice to revive Houston’s chances of making the postseason. Stroud and the Texans, who are now 6-5, have advanced to the playoffs in both of his first two seasons in the Lone Star State. In the meantime, the offence has not shown much faith in Davis Mills, his backup. Houston scored just 60 net yards in the latter two quarters of the game against the Bills, which was their lowest total of the 2025 campaign. Leading the offence, Mills failed to connect with his running backs and missed a number of crucial passes. Now, Stroud is ready to take on the field.Also read: C.J.

Chase Sexton out for at least another round, Indianapolis Supercross, with practice injuries
Chase Sexton will miss at least one more round of the SuperMotocross World Championship to heal from injuries suffered in practice prior to the Daytona Supercross, the Kawasaki Racing team announced on social media. He will miss Round 9 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Sexton got off to a disappointing start with his new team, finishing eighth in the season-opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. He rallied to finish fourth the following week in San Diego after coming out of the gates slowly, and then won his first race with the team in the second Anaheim event.
With a forthcoming off-week following the Indianapolis Supercross, Drew Adams could return in time for the East / West Showdown in Birmingham.
Since then, his best finish has been fifth, which he scored in the Houston Triple Crown event and in Seattle.
After missing Daytona, Sexton is fifth in the championship standings, tied with Justin Cooper at 49 points behind the leader, Hunter Lawrence.
An off-week follows the Indianapolis Supercross, giving Sexton additional time to heal.
Dylan Ferrandis hurt his thumb in a Daytona heat race, but an MRI reveals there are no broken bones.
