HOUSTON — The fans were in attendance on Friday to watch the Houston Texans prepare for their first preseason game versus the New England Patriots Aug. 10 at Gillette Stadium. Most in attendance got exactly what they came for, and that is an excellent performance from rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud who has stacked back-to-back training camp days that are showing his progression. He took all the first-team reps, which is something he has not done in training camp.
“You know, Stroud is doing a great job, and he’s improving just like we asked all of our guys,” said Texans coach DeMeco Ryans. “When it comes to development and what do you expect from training camp, I expect everybody to be better than they were the day before.”
