The Texans released their inactives list prior to Monday night's Week 7 matchup away against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seattle Seahawks inactives will be linked here when they are released.

The Seahawks’ going away from their tendencies helped their cause. Stroud said the Seahawks atypically ran a Cover 0 blitz with the Texans backed up and behind the chains. He said that “caught us off guard,” and noted the loud environment, but that they have had similar situations in back-to-back games and could lead to “bigger plays” if fixed.

The Texans, led by quarterback CJ Stroud, face the Seattle Seahawks, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025 at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington.

The Houston Texans lost to the Seattle Seahawks 27-19 on Monday night at Lumen Field. It could have been worse. C.J. Stroud could have thrown several interceptions and several pick sixes. But this was as bad as it gets.

For the season, Stroud has a 64.7 " Total QBR " rating from ESPN, which ranks 11th out of 32 starting QBs entering Week 7. His passer rating of 102.1 ranks 12th, which is higher than names like the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, Philadelphia Eagles ' Jalen Hurts and Chicago Bears ' Caleb Williams.

The look-ahead line for this game has the San Francisco 49ers as 1.5-point road dogs. But after a punchless effort from the Houston Texans' offense on Monday Night Football, this spread reopened with the Niners laying -1.5 on the road.
