Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud is continuing to manage shoulder soreness and is not throwing during OTAs. Ryans said Stroud's soreness in his right throwing shoulder is "general" and is not expected to be a long-term situation.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans downplayed Stroud's activity level on Wednesday and emphasized players’ routines will vary widely day to day. First-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley addressed the former No. 2 overall pick's absence, but also mentioned he wasn't concerned with the limitations during drills.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans shared an update regarding C.J. Stroud 's injury recovery. The soon-to-be third-year player appears to have sustained this injury late last season during the Texans' Christmas Day matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
