"HOUSTON -- Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will not play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a concussion. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Stroud was "feeling a little bit better" after hitting his head on the ground following a hard hit Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Ryans added that the Texans want to see how Stroud progresses throughout the week. But clearly, Stroud didn't progress quickly enough to get cleared against the Jaguars. Backup quarterback Davis Mills will get the nod, according to Ryans."
"'[Mills] has started games in his league before, so there's nothing new for him,' Ryans said Wednesday. 'It is a benefit for him, being able to get the reps throughout practice, get walk-through [reps], getting every single rep that he can get. He's done a good job with that. Today he did an outstanding job. We were efficient in and out of the huddle, at the line of scrimmage. He did a great job of communicating.'"
