The Houston Texans have won their last two games with backup quarterback Davis Mills under center, and they’re looking to keep that momentum rolling at home against the Buffalo Bills.
The last time these teams met was a season ago — a game that ended up being one of the worst performances of Josh Allen’s career. If Houston wants to stay competitive on Sunday, they’ll need a similar outing from Allen, and with the way this defense is playing, that’s absolutely on the table.
Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud is set to miss another game after suffering a concussion against the Denver Broncos. He returned to practice today for the first time in weeks, and the expectation is that he’ll be back in the lineup next weekend against the Colts.
Mills hasn’t been perfect, but he’s been sharp and fully in command of the offense, which is exactly what Houston needs to keep the win streak alive. Here’s a look at Tuesday’s injury report:
-LB Jamal Hill (Hamstring)
-LB Azeez Al-Shaair (Knee / Illness)
-QB C.J. Stroud (Concussion)
-DB Jalen Pitre (Concussion)
-DE Will Anderson Jr. (Ankle)
-OT Tytus Howard (Ankle / Knee)
-OT Trent Brown (Hand / Knee)
-DE Denico Autry (Knee)
-QB Davis Mills (Elbow)
-WR Nico Collins (Ankle)
-K Ka’imi Fairbairn (Quad)
-WR Braxton Berrios (Quad)
-DB Myles Bryant (Ankle)
-LB Jake Hansen (Elbow)
-G Ed Ingram (Knee)
-TE Dalton Schultz (Shoulder)
-TE Cade Stover (Foot)
If the Texans want to keep their playoff hopes alive, this is the type of game that could change the momentum of the season with a statement win.
