HOUSTON — For the second straight Sunday, Texans quarterback CJ Stroud has been ruled out.

Stroud, who suffered a concussion in the Dec. 10 game against the New York Jets, remains in the league's concussion protocol and won’t play against Cleveland on Sunday. He also missed last weekend’s win against the Tennessee Titans.

The Texans posted a story on their site, indicating Case Keenum will again get the start. The Texans report it's his first home start at NRG Stadium since 2014. Keenum started last Sunday and led Houston to a 19-16 overtime win over Tennessee.

Houston also added Tim Boyle to the practice squad earlier this week. Boyle adds depth to the team with Stroud out.

Houston is 8-6, tied with Jacksonville and Indianapolis for the AFC South lead with three games to play. Cleveland comes in at 9-5.

Here's the team's injury report, which also includes rookie defensive end Will Anderson and linebacker Blake Cashman. Sunday's game will be on KHOU 11 at noon.
