The Arizona Cardinals have been good and opportunistic through the season's first few months, a big reason they're the NFL's lone remaining undefeated team at 7-0OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shut down by Cardinals Mills completed 23 of 32 passes for 135 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact 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 Coach David Culley confirmed that Mills will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Culley also relayed that veteran QB Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) could practice some this week and potentially return to action as soon as 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," with an eye toward avoiding re-injury.

Start Tyrod Taylor over Davis Mills? Texans' blowout loss to Colts makes that harder to justify The Texans are losers of five straight and Taylor is in line to start when he returns from a hamstring injury.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
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.
Impact 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.
