Davis Mills has been the quarterback the Texans could rally behind over a 3-0 period to get back into the playoff conversation, so is he the starter?

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 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.

At 5-5, the Houston Texans are technically still in the thick of the AFC playoff race. But as we get into the stretch run of the 2025 NFL season, they don't have much margin for error. Any loss from this point forward will feel disastrous. Any win will only increase pressure on Houston to make a real postseason push.

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

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.

Stroud returns to practice, but concussion protocol sidelines him. Davis Mills steps in to lead the Texans against a tough Bills defense.
