We have not seen Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud take the field for a game since Week 9.

That gives hope that Stroud will return in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts, although that isn't a given.
Here's the latest on Stroud.
Will C.J. Stroud return in Week 13?
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Stroud was officially a full participant in practice on Wednesday, which marks his first full session since suffering a concussion.
This also should be the final hurdle Stroud has to jump in order to be cleared for Sunday's game.

WEDNESDAY UPDATE:Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com reports Stroud will practice Wednesday and he is progressing toward being cleared for Sunday.
Stroud's status for Week 13 hasn't been confirmed yet.
On Monday, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans revealed that Stroud is still in the concussion protocol, which leaves his status up in the air.
"He is still in the concussion protocol," Ryans said.
There have been multiple signs of progress for Stroud, which suggests he has a better than 50/50 shot to return in Week 13.
One of those signs of progress was Stroud's ability to turn in a limited practice last week.

Wilson added that Stroud's Week 13 is "likely."
"Symptoms for Stroud, including sensitivity to light, headaches, subsided, doing better, per sources. Next week regarded as likely for return," Wilson reported.
With no update on Monday, the next one will come on Wednesday, when the Texans release their first injury report of the week.
