Stroud will now be the fourth Week 1 starting QB for the Texans in many seasons.

He’ll follow Davis Mills (2022), Tyrod Taylor (2021), and Deshaun Watson (2020) when Houston travels to Baltimore.

Stroud finished the preseason, completing 11 of 20 passes for 89 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
