Texans' C.J. Stroud pledges to learn from mistakes in preseason debut

HOUSTON -- Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud vowed to learn from his errors and "keep growing" after struggling in his preseason debut Thursday night.

Stroud went 2-for-4 for 13 yards with an interception in his two series as the Texans defeated the New England Patriots 20-9 in their first preseason game.

However, coach DeMeco Ryans said he wasn't concerned about his rookie quarterback's struggles and had a positive view on the No. 2 pick's performance.

"We all have things to clean up and get better at, but I thought it was a good first outing," Ryans said.
