Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud did not throw during voluntary OTAs over the past two weeks due to what the team is calling general soreness in his throwing shoulder.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans talked about it after Tuesday's practice, but was not really up for much follow-up questioning.
"First off, I know everybody’s going to ask, C.J. [Stroud] not throwing again. There are no concerns with C.J., it’s just general soreness, we’re taking extra precaution with him, but he’ll be good to go," Ryans said. "No concerns on my end there."
When asked if Stroud would be able to throw by minicamp, which is next week, the coach had this to say:
“For C.J., like I said, he has general soreness and we’re just taking extra precaution with him. When he’s ready to go, he’ll be ready to go."
So did he have some kind of surgery or procedure, especially since they haven't played a game since the Jan. 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round? After all, Stroud was helped off the field after taking eight sacks in that game.
"That’s it for C.J. guys, on the question, that’s it," Ryans said. "That’s it for him, like it’s general soreness and we’re taking extra precaution with him. We’re not going to rush him into anything, he’ll be fine. When the moment for him to be ready to go, he’ll be ready to go."
