Overview
- Coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that Stroud will miss his second straight game as he remains in the NFL concussion protocol.
- Stroud has not reached the phase that allows football activities and still needs to be symptom-free and cleared by an independent neurologist before returning.
- Davis Mills will start at Tennessee in Week 11 after practicing fully despite an elbow designation on the initial injury report.
- Mills completed 60% of his passes for 292 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the win over Jacksonville and added a go-ahead scramble, drawing praise from Ryans and offensive coordinator Nick Caley.
- NFL Films highlighted Houston’s 26-point rally, reflecting added attention on Mills as the Texans tailor their game plan without Stroud.
