On Thursday, the two reunited when Stroud’s Houston Texans hosted Young’s Carolina Panthers for a joint practice ahead of Saturday’s preseason game. The quarterbacks were all business during drills, with both players making some nice throws during the two-hour workout. Afterward, they took some time to catch up and chat.

Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig brought the heat on Thursday. Houston players didn’t like it, but Moehrig didn’t particularly care.

Last week, the Texans conducted a joint practice with Carolina, allowing Stroud to go up against live competition for the first time in training camp. He impressed at times, throwing a pair of touchdown passes to Collins and fellow veteran receiver Christian Kirk. He also threw a red zone interception to Mike Jackson.
