Davis Mills News: Called on in relief Sunday
Mills completed 17 of 30 passes for 137 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos. He added seven rushing yards on two carries.
C.J. Stroud was knocked out of the game early in the second quarter and was diagnosed with a concussion, leaving the offense in the hands of Mills for the rest of the afternoon. The fifth-year quarterback led the Texans to four scoring drives but wasn't able to get the ball into the end zone, and the lack of touchdowns proved costly in the end. If Stroud isn't able to clear concussion protocol in time to return in Week 10 against the Jaguars, Mills would get his first start of the season.
