The Texans are Likely To Be Without star Player Against The Browns
|The 9-5 Browns travel to Houston on Christmas Eve with a chance to earn a playoff place with a win over the Texans, who may be missing their starting quarterback.
There are eight potential ways for the Browns to clinch a postseason spot heading into Week 16, and while they’re all complicated, they all begin with a win for Cleveland.
Given the news from Tuesday night, the Browns’ route to victory this weekend may have become easier. C.J. Stroud, the Texans’ quarterback, is expected to miss a second consecutive week due to a concussion, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. After failing to clear the league’s concussion protocol, the rookie sat out this weekend’s game against the Titans.
