The Houston Texans and quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson have parted ways, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.

A reason for the move was not publicly disclosed. The change occurred two days after Texans general manager Nick Caserio said that he hasn't lost confidence in quarterback CJ Stroud.

"He's our quarterback. He isn't going anywhere. We have a lot of confidence, a lot of belief," Caserio said at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday in Indianapolis. "I'm glad he's our quarterback."

Johnson, 37, has been quarterbacks coach in Houston for the last three seasons after spending the 2022 campaign as the Minnesota Vikings' assistant quarterbacks coach.

The Houston Chronicle reported that senior offensive assistant/pass game coordinator Jerry Schuplinski will be "leaned on" to coach Stroud.
