• Texans' Davis Mills: Gets one-year extension

  09/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mills and the Texans agreed Wednesday on a one-year, $5 million extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. 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.

• Texans' Davis Mills: Returns to practice

  Mills (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports. 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.

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.
