Texans QB C.J. Stroud out against Jaguars with concussion

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • Associated Press
Set for Week 10 start Mills is slated to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars after Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday that C.J. Stroud (concussion) "will be out," Adam Schefter of ESPN re...
Impact Mills entered Houston's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9 early in the second quarter in relief of Stroud. He finished with an unimpressive line, completing just 17 of 30 passes for 137 yards while rushing twice for seven yards. With Stroud in line to miss at least one more game while working to gain clearance from the concussion protocol, expect the Texans to lean on the strength of their defense and task Mills to hold down the fort as a game manager versus Jacksonville. Mills is only on the fantasy radar as a streamer in deeper formats that allow multiple quarterbacks to be started.

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.
Impact 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 QB was able to lead four scoring drives for the Texans but wasn't able to get the ball into the end zone, and that lack of TDs proved costly in the end. If Stroud isn't cleared through the concussion protocol in time to return in Week 10, Mills would get his first start of the season against the Jaguars.

Texans give backup QB Davis Mills unique extension for second straight season Davis Mills has signed one-year contract extensions with the Texans on eve of each of the last two NFL seasons. Here's why the deals are so...
SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • USATODAY.COM
Receives one-year extension Mills and the Texans agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $7 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Mills had been ticketed for free agency next spring, but for the second September in a row, the Texans have given him some extra security in the form of a one-year extension. The $7 million deal is fully guaranteed, which should ensure that Mills faces no real competition for the No. 2 role heading into 2026. He'll be entering his third straight season as C.J. Stroud's backup and won't be in line for anything more than spot duty so long as Stroud maintains health. Through his first two NFL seasons, Stroud has missed just two games, with both absences coming late in his rookie campaign while he recovered from a concussion.

Tosses TD on only drive Saturday Mills completed four of five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Impact The 26-year-old backup quarterback got the start with C.J. Stroud held out of the Texans' exhibition opener, but Mills played only one drive, which he capped with a 14-yard TD to Braxton Berrios. Mills is set as Houston's No. 2 QB, but it's a role that hasn't led him to much action since Stroud got to town as he's attempted only 75 passes in 10 regular-season games over the last two seasons.

AUGUST 9, 2025 • Associated Press
Expected starter Saturday Mills is expected to draw the start in Saturday's preseason opener against the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact If that is indeed the case, top QB C.J. Stroud would presumably be rested, with Graham Mertz and Kedon Slovis also available to handle snaps versus Minnesota. As the coming season approaches, Mills is set to reprise his role as Houston's No. 2 signal caller.

Handles bulk role Week 18 Mills completed 12 of 22 passes for 128 yards and rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18.
Impact After starting quarterback C.J. Stroud engineered the opening possession, which resulted in a touchdown, the reins were handed to Mills for the rest of the game. He made appearances in three blowouts during the season before guiding the Texans through most of the regular-season finale. Mills completed 20 of 36 passes for 212 yards over his four games played in 2024. Stroud wasn't as consistent in 2024 as during his rookie 2023 season, but it never go to the point where a quarterback change became necessary. The Texans are happy to keep Mills, who has two years of experience under the current coaching regime, as the backup heading into next season.

Mops up in loss Mills completed his lone attempt for five yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.
Impact Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled without two of the team's top receivers, Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee). Add in a struggling ground game -- Joe Mixon was held to under 30 yards for the third time in the last five games -- and the Texans were clearly the inferior team Christmas Day. Mills entered for the final series to essentially run out the clock. Houston already clinched a spot in the postseason, so there is a possibility Mills leads the team in the final game of the regular season, but head coach DeMeco Ryans struck a different tone following the loss. "I think you come back fired up and showing that's not who we are," Ryans told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. "At the end of the day that's not who we are." The Texans finish up the regular season January 5 at Tennessee, which embarrassed Houston at home in Week 12.
