Is C.J. Stroud playing today? Latest on Texans' QB for Week 2 NFL preseason vs Giants

C.J. Stroud posted a rookie season for ages last year. The Ohio State Buckeyes product guided the Houston Texans to a postseason berth and put up Pro Bowl-caliber numbers. Stroud earned Pro Bowl honors and won the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Stroud will play in the preseason game against the New York Giants. According to CBS Sports, coach DeMeco Ryans said all the Texans' starters will feature against the Giants.

It's currently unclear how many minutes Stroud and his fellow starters will play, but it's important to note that Stroud played two possessions in Houston's last preseason game. Expect him to face a similar workload against the Giants.

The Texans will be looking to perform even better in the upcoming season following the additions of Pro Bowlers Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs.
