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

Rams get 5 sacks to shut down Mills, Texans in 38-22 win

QB Davis Mills remains optimistic after loss to Rams Houston Texans QB Davis Mills tossed three touchdowns late in a defeat to the Los Angeles Rams at NRG Stadium.
OCTOBER 31, 2021 • HOUSTONTEXANS.COM
Three hundred-yard mark Mills completed 29 of 38 pass attempts for 310 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Rams on Sunday.
Impact 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 think about with Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) nearing his return to the field. Taylor's production was much cleaner in his two starts before injury, so the question of which starts could come down to whether the Texans want to play competitively (Taylor) or evaluate prospects for the future (Mills). Houston in any case heads to Miami in Week 9.

Mills to start for Texans against Rams with Taylor still out
Rookie Davis Mills will start at quarterback for the Houston Texans Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams with Tyrod Taylor not yet ready to return from a hamstring injuryOCTOBER 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starting again Week 8 Mills was named Texans' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.
