Texans’ C.J. Stroud: Not on monitor to begin Saturday

Stroud is not in line to play in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

With the Texans resting a number of starters Saturday, Davis Mills will start at QB in place of Stroud. The third-year signal-caller’s next chance to see game action will arrive Aug. 16 against the Panthers.
