The Lions claimed Mills off waivers from the Texans on Wednesday. Mills was waived by the Texans on Tuesday, just three days after being signed off the practice squad to the active roster. Now that he's with the Lions, Mills will give the team a much-needed boost in an injury-depleted secondary that consists of Kerby Joseph (knee), Brian Branch (Achilles) and Thomas Harper (concussion).

Mills was waived by the Texans on Tuesday. Mills will be placed on waivers after registering four total tackles (one solo) over four contests with the Texans this season. If the safety goes unclaimed, there's a good chance that he returns to Houston as a member of the team's practice squad.

The Texans signed Mills to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday. Mills had already been elevated the maximum three times, so signing him to the active roster was the only way he could play in another game. The 22-year-old should help provide extra depth at safety, as Jaylen Reed (forearm) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that Mills (collarbone) will be placed on the Jets' injured reserve, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports. Mills was forced out of Sunday's game at Jacksonville early by a collarbone injury, and now he'll have to sit out for the rest of the season as he recovers. His absence figures to open up additional snaps for Tony Adams at safety.

Mills is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a chest injury. Mills logged four tackles and an interception before exiting during the first half. The 30-year-old was a top tackle-getter for the team after stepping into the starting free-safety role Week 7, but his playing time has gone down slightly over the last two games. In Mills' absence, expect Tony Adams and Ashtyn Davis to see increased usage in the Jets' secondary.
