The Houston Texans have ruled out quarterback C.J. Stroud for the second straight week due to a concussion.
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that safety Jalen Pitre (concussion) and kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad) will also be sidelined when the Texans (4-5) visit the Tennessee Titans (1-8) on Sunday.
Davis Mills will make his second consecutive start in Stroud's absence after throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns in last weekend's 36-29 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Stroud, 24, was injured during the second quarter of an 18-15 home loss to the Denver Broncos on Nov. 2 when the back of his helmet struck the turf at the end of a scramble.
Stroud has passed for 1,702 yards with 11 TDs and five interceptions this season. Since being drafted No. 2 overall in 2023, the only other games he has missed were also due to a concussion in Weeks 15-16 of his rookie season.
Mills, 27, made his first start since 2022 last weekend. He has played in 41 games over five seasons with the Texans, including 11 starts as a rookie in 2021 and 15 starts the following year.
