The Houston Texans are in a favorable position to secure a playoff spot and control their destiny. Despite the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts failing to capitalize on the absence of star quarterback C.J. Stroud, winning their remaining games could bring them closer to the postseason.
AFC South insider Ben Arthur, reporting on the NFL on FOX Podcast, revealed that Stroud is on the verge of making a comeback. Currently in phase four of the concussion protocol, it’s just a matter of time before he receives clearance for contact.

Stroud, a frontrunner for Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined after a concussion against the New York Jets. His return is crucial for the Texans as they prepare for a challenging matchup against the Tennessee Titans, a resilient division rival.
Despite a recent victory against the Titans with veteran Case Keenum, having their primary quarterback back on the field should make things easier. However, they face another significant challenge in the season finale against the Indianapolis Colts, who remain in playoff contention. The Texans look to Stroud’s potential return to maintain their playoff aspirations.
