Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that quarterback C.J. Stroud is slated to start in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This announcement was made on Saturday, as reported by ESPN.com reporter DJ Bien-Aime.
The Texans are planning to give significant playing time to key offensive players, a change from their first preseason game where starters did not participate. Stroud will benefit from a fully healthy offensive line, featuring new starters at essential positions. Braden Smith will take the role of right tackle, Wyatt Teller will play left guard, and Keylan Rutledge will serve as the center.
As the Texans prepare for the matchup against Las Vegas, Ryans emphasized the importance of the offensive line's health during this phase of training camp. However, the coaching staff has not disclosed how long Stroud will be on the field or if there will be any other roster changes.
