The Houston Texans are coming off a thrilling home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and are looking to carry that momentum into another divisional matchup — this time against the Tennessee Titans.
Quarterback Davis Mills got the start last weekend after C.J. Stroud suffered a concussion against the Broncos. Outside of the opening drive, Mills looked sharp and fully in control of the offense.
He’s now in line for at least one more start, with Stroud still dealing with concussion symptoms. Houston was extremely banged up last week, and it looks like that trend may continue heading into the Titans game:
-QB C.J. Stroud (Concussion)
-DB Jalen Pitre (Concussion)
-K Ka’imi Fairbairn (Quad)
-TE Dalton Schultz (Shoulder)
-TE Harrison Bryant (Shoulder)
-LB Jake Hansen (Elbow)
-G Ed Ingram (Knee)
-TE Cade Stover (Foot)
-DE Denico Autry (Knee)
-LB Azeez Al-Shaair (Knee)
-QB Davis Mills (Elbow)
-WR Braxton Berrios (Quad)
-FB Jakob Johnson (Hamstring)
-LB Christian Harris (Shin)
-OT Tytus Howard (Concussion)
The good news for Houston is they’ll be getting multiple starters back, including tight end Cade Stover, offensive tackle Tytus Howard, and guard Ed Ingram.
The bad news is they’ll also be without several key players: quarterback C.J. Stroud, defensive back Jalen Pitre, and kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn.
With the playoff race tightening, almost every game from here on out is a must-win for Houston. They can’t afford to take their foot off the gas against the Titans — even if Tennessee currently holds the league’s worst record.
