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.

Houston won the game in OT without him, thanks to former Browns quarterback Case Keenum, who threw for 229 yards, a score, and an interception.
