Houston Texans officially name C.J. Stroud their Week 1 starter……
Stroud beat out incumbent starter Davis Mills to win the quarterback job for the rebuilding Texans. First-year head coach DeMeco Ryans made sure to emphasize Sunday night that Houston needs improvement in all areas to compete this season and beyond — and he believes the best chance of that happening is with Stroud under center.
The Texans on Sunday beat the New Orleans Saints 17-13 in the final game of the 2023 preseason. The game saw Stroud throw his first and only touchdown of the preseason to open the scoring in the first quarter.
