Stroud suffered a concussion two weeks ago in the first half of the team's game against Denver. With Stroud sidelined, Davis Mills will make his second straight start. Mills led Houston to a 36-29 come-from-behind win against Jacksonville. Ryans said he wants to see the veteran build on last week’s win.

C.J. Strouds status for the Houston Texans Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars may have already been settled.

Stroud missed Week 10 with a concussion and head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. The lack of practice means that Stroud still has some steps to take before he’ll be in position to get cleared to play against the Titans this weekend.

Davis Mills certainly didn't let the clock force a surrender in Week 10. Despite being stuffed at the goal line numerous times, TreVeyon Henderson refused to go quietly in the final moments of last Sunday's contest. And Ladd McConkey did anything but extinguish his midseason fire in prime time.
