Early in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud was knocked out of action with what we immediately assumed was likely a concussion. Stroud walked gingerly off the field, made a brief trip to the blue medical tent, and then retreated to the locker room.
Just moments ago, the Texans officially confirmed that Stroud was out for the remainder of the game with a concussion, proving everyone's worst fears to be true.
Unfortunately, Stroud isn't the only Texans starter whose afternoon ended prematurely due to a head injury.
