Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud expected to play against Raiders

The Houston Texans plan to feature several starters, including quarterback C.J. Stroud, during their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night at Reliant Stadium. Stroud is expected to play for a series or two as part of a limited workload for offense, alongside rookie offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge and running back Woody Marks. This decision follows the season-ending injury to wideout Jayden Higgins. Defensive starters, including Danielle Hunter and Kamari Lassiter, are anticipated to be rested. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time and will be televised on ABC.
