Texans beat writer Aaron Wilson reports C.J. Stroud (concussion) won’t play in Week 15 against the Titans.
Stroud, who the team officially listed as doubtful, hasn’t practiced all week and is not expected to play, according to Wilson per sources knowledgable of the situation. Quarterback Davis Mills, who has started 26 games in his NFL career, will draw the start. Mills is 5-19-1 during his time as a starter but is one of the better backups the league has to offer. He’s thrown for 5,806 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 25 interceptions while completing 63.4 percent of his passes. Unfortunately, he’ll be without two of his top pass-catchers. Tank Dell suffered a season-ending injury in Week 13, and Nico Collins has been ruled out for Week 15 with a calf injury.
