Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills has played well enough in the absence of C.J. Stroud for Houston to go 3-0 and get back into playoff contention. But Mills says there's no thought that he could continue starting once Stroud is cleared to return from his concussion.

Will C.J. Stroud play for Texans against the Bills on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 12? Here's the latest injury update on the Texans QB:

The Houston Texans can ride their league-best defense to a playoff berth, based on their game against the Buffalo Bills.

Off the field, Stroud has maintained a simple life and is not currently dating anyone. The biggest twist to his relationship status came in 2024, when Amber Rose briefly became the subject of rumors linking the two.

Is Mills looking at his successful run at QB filling in for the injured Stroud as an "audition?" Not even a little bit.

The Houston Texans will be without star quarterback C.J. Stroud when they take on the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, as the 24-year-old remains in the concussion protocol.

For the third straight week, Davis Mills will be under center for the Houston Texans as starting quarterback C.J. Stroud has been ruled Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills in Houston due to the concussion he suffered during the Week 9 loss vs. the Denver Broncos. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans announced the news Tuesday.

While Mills has proven he can step in when needed, Stroud raises the Texans' offensive ceiling significantly, which makes Thursday's game against a top-ranked offense like Buffalo (averaging 387.4 total yards per game) all the more worrisome.

The Texans are forging ahead with their contingency plan at quarterback ahead of a critical "Thursday Night Football" game against the Bills.

The Houston Texans have ruled out star quarterback C.J. Stroud in Week 12 versus the Buffalo Bills due to a concussion.

Footage showed Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud looking unpleased that Davis Mills was being praised in the locker room.
