C.J. Stroud Out For Week 12, Expected Back For Week 13

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills, HC Demeco Ryans said. Stroud returned to a limited practice on Tuesday and is expected back for Week 13's game against the Colts. But QB Davis Mills will make his third straight start on Thursday. He's gone 2-0 over the last two, completing 61.6% of his passes at 6.6 yards per attempt. Mills remains just a lower-end QB2 -- but he's certainly not bad news for WR Nico Collins, who has posted 7-136-0 and 9-92-1 lines over the last two games.
