C.J. Stroud, Texans' O-line take steps in right direction vs. Dolphins
HOUSTON -- One aspect of quarterback C.J. Stroud's game that Texans coach DeMeco Ryans has praised throughout training camp is his week-to-week improvement.
The Texans lost 28-3 to the Miami Dolphins in their second preseason game Saturday, but Stroud showed that improvement, going 7-for-12 passing for 60 yards and leading the offense to its only points while playing the entire first half.
It came a week after the No. 2 overall pick went 2-for-4 passing for 13 yards and an interception against the New England Patriots.
"So proud of the progress that CJ took this week. That's what we want to see," Ryans said. "You want to see improvement week-to-week, and that's what we saw this week."
