Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is set to return from a concussion that kept him out of the last three games. Stroud will lead the team against the Indianapolis Colts in a pivotal AFC South matchup on Sunday. The 22-year-old quarterback was injured in a game against the Denver Broncos on November 2, after being hit on the shoulder and having his head bounce off the ground. Stroud, who has never missed more than two games in a season before, expressed his gratitude at being able to return to the field. "I'm just really grateful to be back finally," he said. The Texans have leaned on their top-ranked defense to go 3-0 in Stroud's absence, with quarterback Davis Mills starting the last three games. Safety Jalen Pitre will also return to the lineup after missing the last three games with a concussion. The Texans will face a tough challenge in the Colts, who lead the division with an 8-3 record. This will be the first of two meetings between the teams this season, with the regular-season finale set to be their second encounter.
