Gets one-year extension Mills and the Texans agreed Wednesday on a one-year, $5 million extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Mills is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract, so the extension will keep him in the fold through the 2025 campaign. Rapoport adds that the contract contains incentives based on playing time, but the Texans are hopeful that Mills won't be needed for much more than spot duty if franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud can maintain health. Over 34 career regular-season contests, Mills went 5-19-1 as a starter and has completed 573 of 912 attempts (62.8 percent) for 5,955 yards, 35 touchdowns and 25 interceptions while adding 161 yards and two scores on 52 carries. He was used sparingly behind Stroud in 2023 but showed improved efficiency this preseason, completing 18 of 26 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

Returns to practice Mills (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.
Impact Mills missed last Saturday's preseason game against the Giants with bruised ribs sustained during a preseason tilt the previous week against the Steelers. He looked sharp, per Wilson, delivering touchdown passes to John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson. It's unclear if Mills will suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams. One thing that's certain is a healthy Mills will enter the regular season as the backup to C.J. Stroud.

Bothered by ribs Mills is dealing with an injury to his ribs and may not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk 790 reports.
Impact Mills reportedly missed practice Thursday and was limited throughout the week. An absence Saturday would free up more snaps for Case Keenum and Tim Boyle once C.J. Stroud is removed from the game.

Logs most QB snaps Mills completed 8-of-13 attempts for 89 yards and was sacked twice in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Mills, who entered after starter C.J. Stroud played the first two series, was in the game for the most snaps of the four quarterbacks that saw action. He's locked in as the backup quarterback, although that was the case in 2023 but the Texans used Case Keenum to start games late in the season when Stroud was unavailable.

Sharp in preseason debut Mills started the Texans' 21-17 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday and completed 10 of 13 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown while also netting no gain on two carries.
Impact Mills, who's entering the final year of his rookie contract and is battling veteran Case Keenum for the No. 2 job this summer, made a strong opening case for his candidacy Thursday. The 2021 third-round pick completed a six-yard pass to Xavier Hutchinson on the first play from scrimmage and went on to cap off the game-opening 13-play, 74-yard march with a nine-yard touchdown toss to tight end Teagan Quitoriano. Mills completed two drives overall before giving way to Keenum, who was productive in his own right. The job battle is likely to last through the remainder of the preseason schedule, with both players offering the benefit of plenty of experience and solid mobility.
