Texans Rule Out Stroud, Pitre for Thursday Night Clash
21 Nov
Summary
- C.J. Stroud and Jalen Pitre remain out for the Texans due to concussion protocol.
- Veteran offensive guard Laken Tomlinson is a healthy scratch for the Texans.
- Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is inactive for a second consecutive game.
As the Houston Texans prepare to host the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football, both teams have announced significant inactive players. The Texans will be without star quarterback C.J. Stroud and defensive back Jalen Pitre for the third consecutive game, as both continue to progress through concussion protocol, with hopes for Week 13 remaining high.
Houston's offensive line will see a shake-up with veteran left guard Laken Tomlinson surprisingly scratched, marking his first healthy scratch of the season. Jarrett Patterson is set to fill in at left guard, while Ed Ingram is healthy after a knee injury. Other Texans inactives include offensive tackle Jarrett Kingston, linebacker Damone Clark, and wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
The Bills also face key absences, most notably former first-round wide receiver Keon Coleman, who is sidelined for conduct reasons for the second week running. Buffalo's receiving corps will also be depleted by the injuries to Curtis Samuel and Dalton Kincaid, impacting their offensive capabilities against the Texans.
