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
Davis Mills - 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.

Tyrod Taylor - Not returning this weekend Coach David Culley said Taylor (hamstring) won't be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Rams, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact The veteran quarterback was designated to return from injured reserve and is back at practice this week, but Culley said, "we just don't feel Tyrod is ready right now." It doesn't sound as though Taylor has suffered a setback, so there's a chance he's able to return Week 9 at Miami. Davis Mills will make another start under center for the Texans.

Rex Burkhead - Another limited practice Burkhead (hip) logged a limited practice Thursday.
Impact Burkhead has battled a hip injury since Week 5, though he's played in each of the team's last two games. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Burkhead should be ready to suit up for a Week 8 matchup against the Rams. Burkhead will still likely work behind David Johnson and Phillip Lindsay, but he could see an increased role in the absence of Mark Ingram.
OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pharaoh Brown - Added to injury report Brown (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Brown apparently suffered the injury during practice, as he was a full participant without an injury designation Wednesday. He has hauled in multiple passes each of the last three weeks but has not surpassed 22 receiving yards in any game during that stretch.
