  • Leads comeback effort

    Mills completed 23 of his 33 passes for 301 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Mills led a vaillant comeback attempt, bringing the Texans back from down 21-0 to ultimately lose by only a field goal. He connected with five different pass catchers for gains of at least 20 yards-- two of which went for touchdowns. While Deshaun Watson's future with the team remains unclear, Mills has made the case to remain the starter in 2022 with the opportunity to prove himself as the long-term quarterback in Houston. Though his Week 17 performance was uninspiring, Mills started the…read more

  • Little production in losing effort

    Mills completed 21 of 32 pass attempts for 163 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Mills maintained his recent string of accuracy, finishing with a completion rate above 60 percent for the fourth straight game. The rookie quarterback wasn't able to take many shots downfield, as the Texans' inconsistent offensive line struggled to contain the 49ers' pass rush. The 167 total yards (four rushing yards) were the signal caller's lowest yardage output since Week 7. Mills has shown some flashes at times this season, but inconsistent play keeps him off of most fantasy radars heading…read more

  • Another strong performance

    Mills completed 21 of 27 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Mills continued to show signs of being a capable quarterback in the NFL, tallying lengthy touchdown passes of 41 and 13 yards. He was aided by a strong rushing offense and defensive performance from the Texans, though he also showed the ability to push the ball down the field effectively by completing four passes of more than 20 yards. Since taking over as the Texans' full-time starting quarterback in Week 14, Mills has thrown five touchdowns as opposed to only one interception while throwing…read more

  • Solid showing in win

    Mills completed 19 of 30 passes for 209 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

    Analysis: The rookie signal-caller didn't put up anywhere as pretty a stat line as in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks, but Mills was more than serviceable on the road against a division opponent. Mills connected with favorite target Brandin Cooks for both of his touchdown tosses, with the speedster doing almost all the work on the second, a 43-yarder in the fourth quarter. Mills appears to have benefited plenty from the experience he garnered while starting in Tyrod Taylor's stead earlier in the season,…read more

  • Hot start not enough versus Seattle

    Mills completed 33 of 49 passes for 331 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Mills hit his first 14 passes for 150 yards, including a five-yard touchdown to Brevin Jordan to cap the opening drive. He cooled down after Brandin Cooks was tackled just short of the goal line, missing the next two throws as the Texans had to settle for a game-tying field goal. It was all Seahawks after that, though Mills continued to pile up passing yards with the Houston running game failing to get anything going. Having been named the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season,…read more

  • Officially named starting QB

    Coach David Culley named Mills the Texans' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seahawks and the rest of the season, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old filled in as the starter while Tyrod Taylor was sidelined by injury earlier in the campaign, and the third-round rookie now will be atop the depth chart for the final five games of the season. Mills doesn't offer much fantasy upside, as he's completed 65 percent of his passes on 223 attempts for 1,406 yards with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight contests.

  • Likely to start Sunday, maybe beyond

    Mills is expected to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks and may be the Texans' top quarterback for the remainder of the season, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Tyrod Taylor (wrist) took part in Wednesday's practice, but he may move into the backup role even if he's medically cleared for Sunday. Since returning from a stint on injured reserve Week 9, the veteran has performed no better than Mills, who tossed six touchdowns and seven interceptions in his six starts Weeks 3 through 8, averaging a meager 209.2 passing yards per contest.

  • Replaces injured Taylor

    Mills completed six of 14 passes for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Mills replaced teammate Tyrod Taylor late in the third quarter after he injured his wrist. Although coach David Culley said after the game that Taylor could have returned, he also noted concern over Taylor's ability to grip the ball, ultimately allowing Mills to finish the contest. In his relief role, Mills struggled to get anything going, but his numbers were rather similar to Taylor's prior to exiting. Given Taylor's injury, it'll be worthwhile to monitor his practice involvement this week,…read more

  • Returning to backup duty

    Mills' teammate, Tyrod Taylor (hamstring), is in line to start Sunday's game against the Dolphins, The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mills had been handling the team's QB duties since Taylor was injured Week 2, and since then he's passed for 1,357 yards, with seven TDs and eight picks. The 2021 third-rounder will revert to a backup role now that Taylor is in line to come off IR, while Jeff Driskel will serve as the team's No. 3 signal-caller. Deshaun Watson remains on Houston's roster but has been made inactive on game days by the team all season.

  • Three hundred-yard mark

    Mills completed 29 of 38 pass attempts for 310 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: It wasn't the cleanest game for Mills -- a lot of his production could be described as the 'garbage time' sort and he withstood a lot of pressure (five sacks, nine quarterback hits), but he deserves credit for keeping his composure through the struggles and fighting for gains late in the game. His numbers from Sunday raise his box score on the year to 1,357 passing yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions (67 percent completed, 6.5 yards per attempt) and could give the Texans more to…read more

  • Starting again Week 8

    Mills was named the Texans' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) is back at practice this week and is closing in on his return from injured reserve, but he's not quite ready to be activated. As a result, Mills will make his sixth straight start under center for Houston. The rookie third-round pick has completed 65 percent of his passes for 1,047 yards with five touchdowns and seven interceptions while also losing one fumble.

  • Shut down by Cardinals

    Mills completed 23 of 32 passes for 135 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: While the rookie quarterback managed a decent completion percentage, his 4.2 yards per attempt provided a better indication of how little success Mills had moving the Texans' offense. He's now failed to reach 200 passing yards in three of his five starts, managing only a 5:7 TD:INT during that stretch, and with Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) ready to begin practicing again, Mills' stint as Houston's starter could end as soon as Week 8 against the Rams.

  • Set for another start

    Texans head coach David Culley confirmed that Mills will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: In a related note, Culley said Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) could return to practice this week and potentially come off injured reserve Week 8, but Mills will get at least one more start while Taylor is sidelined. Additionally, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston notes that Culley maintains that Taylor will reclaim his starting job when healthy, but that won't happen until the signal-caller's hamstring is "completely right." Through his first four starts in place of Taylor, Mills has completed…read more

  • Struggles in blowout loss

    Mills completed 29 of 43 passes for 243 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts. He added five yards on two rushing attempts.

    Analysis: After topping the 300-yard mark through the air last week, Mills regressed closer to the subpar results he showed in his first three appearances, failing to lead Houston into the end zone in the blowout loss. Once Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) is ready to return, the rookie third-round pick will be relegated back to a bench role. That could happen as soon as Week 7 against the Cardinals.

  • Shows promise in loss

    Mills completed 21 of 29 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 5 against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mills combined to throw for 357 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions across his first three professional starts. However, he delivered an impressive performance against the Patriots by both taking care of the ball and taking shots deep down the field. He connected with Chris Moore and Chris Conley to combine for four completions of 20 yards or more and also delivered his first multiple touchdown performance, tossing scores from 67, 37 and 11 yards. This lone performance may not change…read more

  • Four picks against Bills

    Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 87 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: There were reports prior to the matchup that the Texans planned to open the offense up for Mills. That didn't go according to plan, as Mills threw a pair of interceptions in both the first and second half. He also averaged only 4.1 yards per attempt, and his longest completion of the day went for 16 yards. While it was certainly a poor outing, Mills will likely get at least one more start with Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) on injured reserve for a Week 5 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Will have reins loosened Week 4

    The Texans plan to open up the offense for Mills in his second start Sunday against the Bills, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Mills made his first NFL start Week 3 against the Panthers on just three days' preparation. As such, the coaching staff placed limitations on the rookie quarterback. Houston head coach David Culley believes the staff went too far in trying to protect Mills, who threw for 168 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over. The Texans may want to open up the offense, but they may have no choice against Buffalo, which averages 31.3 points per game. In whatever shape the game takes, it would…read more

  • Holds his own in Week 3 loss

    Mills completed 19 of 28 passes for 168 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Texans' 24-9 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night. He also rushed once for no gain and recovered a fumble.

    Analysis: Making his first NFL start on a short week against a defense that was ranked No. 1 on a yards-per-game basis against both the run and pass, Mills turned in an admirable albeit pedestrian fantasy performance. Mills took four sacks and nine hits overall in the contest, but also displayed good rapport with the trio of Brandin Cooks, Jordan Akins and Anthony Miller in particular, hitting the latter for his one touchdown pass of the night. With Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) on injured reserve, Mills…read more

  • Confirmed as Week 3 starter

    Mills will start at quarterback Thursday against the Panthers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Tyrod Taylor is on track to sit out Thursday and likely additional contests after going down with a hamstring injury in Sunday's loss to the Browns. That leaves Mills, a rookie third-round pick, in line for a multi-game run atop the depth chart. Mills' initial work in relief of Taylor wasn't promising; he completed eight of 18 attempts for 102 yards, one touchdown and one interception while fumbling once on 33 snaps against Cleveland. For as long as the Texans can keep things close with the…read more

  • On track to fill in for Taylor

    With Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) expected to miss time, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Mills is in line to start Thursday night's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Though Taylor's looming absence has not yet been officially confirmed by the Texans, the veteran QB isn't expected to play Thursday, at a minimum, and an IR stint could be in the cards for him. As a result, with Deshaun Watson not being considered as an option to replace Taylor, Mills is in line to start versus Carolina, while Jeff Driskel is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad to Houston's active roster to serve as the team's backup signal-caller Week 3.

  • Struggles in first taste of action

    Mills came into Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns for Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) and completed eight of 18 passes for 102 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also netted minus-1 yard on two carries and committed a fumble that was recovered by Houston.

    Analysis: Mills unsurprisingly had his share of struggles upon unexpectedly having to enter the contest, but he was able to redeem himself to an extent with a two-yard touchdown toss to Brandin Cooks in the fourth quarter. The rookie third-round pick could be called on to start Thursday night's Week 3 matchup against the Panthers given the quick turnaround and the notoriously tricky nature of the the type of soft-tissue injury that prompted Taylor's early exit Sunday.

  • Uneven against Tampa Bay

    Mills completed 10 of 27 passes for 106 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Saturday's 23-16 loss to Tampa Bay in preseason Week 3.

    Analysis: Mills' two-TD/three-pick night was part of a strange game in which Houston rushed for more than 200 yards, forced three turnovers and still lost. The rookie quarterback's uneven effort is emblematic of his entire preseason: some good, some bad and not enough to be a starter come Week 1 of the regular season. He's expected to get a chance down the road, but Mills should back up Tyrod Taylor when the Texans host the Jaguars in two weeks.

  • Leads six drives, one scoring

    Mills went 10-for-16 passing for 115 yards in Saturday's 20-14 win over Dallas in preseason Week 2.

    Analysis: Mills was under center for six drives between the second and fourth quarters, one of which resulted in points. The rookie quarterback engineered a drive of 70 yards that ended in a field goal. The Cowboys blitzed often during the game, which led to a sack of Mills and an intentional grounding by the rookie. "What's nice is that it's still preseason," Mills told Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. "Dallas did a really good job disguising some of their looks, but that gives us really good practice for…read more

  • Preseason performance like camp

    Mills completed 11 of 22 passes for 112 yards with one interception in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Packers in preseason Week 1.

    Analysis: Mills entered early after starter Tyrod Taylor played one series and threw up a performance much like his action during camp -- some strong throws, some misses and a turnover. Mills did engineer a couple of scoring drives before giving way to Jeff Driskel early in the third quarter, which established the quarterback pecking order entering the regular season. Presuming the Texans are not in competition for a playoff spot, they'll eventually need to get Mills on the field to evaluate him as the…read more

  • Throwing picks with regularity

    Mills has turned the ball over on most days during sessions and looks slow to process the more competitive periods of practice, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Mills began Thursday's session with a sack to begin a drive, then ended it with interception. It should not shock followers that a mid-round quarterback is making ugly plays in camp, but the important thing is if Mills can learn from his mistakes. "As elementary as it sounds, (the key is) not making the same mistake twice," offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said of coaching rookie quarterbacks. "For us as coaches, when we can get that from our players, it shows that they're coachable." The Texans…read more

  • Bounces back

    Mills looked better in one-on-one and team drills Monday than he did Saturday, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Mills threw several interceptions when he stepped in with the first-team offense for red-zone drills Saturday, but he was reportedly more accurate Monday. "I thought he bounced back really well," Texans head coach David Culley said. "We expected that. What that tells me about him is he's not going to get rattled." Mills has been getting increased reps with Tyrod Taylor (personal) away from the team.

  • Works out with first team

    Mills spent time with the first-team offense Saturday, as Tyrod Taylor (personal) was not at practice, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: It was a red-zone day for the Texans, and Mills started well, throwing touchdown strikes to Jordan Akins and Chris Conley. Later, however, he was picked off twice by safety Justin Reid. Overall, the rookie threw five interceptions, per Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. Houston head coach David Culley took a big-picture view, noting it was a good learning experience for Mills, the 2021 third-round draft pick that is expected to back up Taylor and possibly Jeff Driskel.
