Stroud active, Tunsil out for Week 2 contest vs. Colts

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is active for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

The rookie passer appeared on the team's injury report Friday with a right shoulder injury and was questionable to play in the game.

Stroud completed 63.6% of his passes in the team's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens for 242 yards. He didn't throw any touchdowns or interceptions.

The No. 2 pick in April's draft will face a Colts defense that surrendered 241 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence a week ago.

While Stroud is good to go, he'll be without left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who won't suit up for the club due to a knee issue. The 29-year-old played 100% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 1.

Tunsil is on a growing list of Houston offensive linemen that aren't available: Right tackle Tytus Howard is unavailable for several weeks with a broken hand, rookie center Juice Scruggs is on short-term injured reserve, left guard Kenyon Green is done for the season with a shoulder injury, and center Scott Quessenberry is out for the year with a torn ACL and MCL.
