Texans' C.J. Stroud to miss second game due to concussion; Davis Mills to start

HOUSTON (AP) --- Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud is still recovering from a
concussion and will miss a second straight game Sunday when the Texans visit
the Tennessee Titans.
Davis Mills will start for the second week after throwing two TD passes and
running for the go-ahead score as the Texans rallied from a 19-point
fourth-quarter deficit for a 36-29 win over Jacksonville last week.
Stroud was injured early in the second quarter of a loss to the Broncos on Nov.
2. He scrambled for 6 yards and was hit on the shoulder near the end of his
slide by Kris Abrams-Draine and the back of his head violently bounced off the
ground.
The Texans will also be without safety Jalen Pitre, who will miss a second game
after also sustaining a concussion against the Broncos, and kicker Ka'imi
Fairbairn will also be out for a second straight game after injuring a
quadriceps against the Broncos.
The concussion to Stroud is his second since entering the NFL in 2023. His
first came in December 2023 against the Jets.
Mills is in his fifth season with the Texans and started 26 games combined in
his first two seasons before returning to the starting lineup for the first
time since 2022 last week.
