Texans Injury Report: Browns dodge rookie phenoms C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson Jr.

The Cleveland Browns will be in search of their tenth win of the season and a chance to potentially clinch a playoff spot as they travel to take on the Houston Texans. And while the Browns must show up and play the game, they will be facing a Houston team without two of their best, young players as C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. will both be out in this one.

With Stroud out, the Browns will face their old friend in backup quarterback Case Keenum. Spending two years with the Browns from 2020-2021, Keenum started two games, going 2-0 when asked to step in.

The Browns, too, are entering this matchup still hampered by injuries as safety Juan Thornhill, linebacker Anthony Walker Jr., and defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo will all miss this game due to injuries. Offensive guard Joel Bitonio is questionable with a back and knee injury.

Here are all of the players with a gameday designation for the Texans as they get set to host the 9-5 Browns.
