Hearts stopped at NRG Stadium after C.J. Stroud took a hard hit during the game between the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos. On a quarterback scramble, Stroud was met by defenders and went down hard, sending a scare through everyone in attendance.

As he reached the Texans’ 30-yard line, Stroud took a heavy hit from Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, a collision that left the signal-caller down on the turf. Moments later, tempers flared as players from both sides exchanged words.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported minutes later that the former Ohio State quarterback was taken to the locker room for further evaluation. “QB CJ Stroud, who took a hard hit while sliding, is headed to the locker room for further evaluation,” the insider reported via @RapSheet.
