Rookie Mills will start at QB for Texans for rest of season

Associated Press  

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans have benched veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor in favor of rookie Davis Mills and coach David Culley said Mills will start for the rest of the season, beginning Sunday against Seattle. Culley benched Taylor for Mills in the third quarter of last week’s defeat with the Texans trailing 21-0 in what ended up a 31-0 loss to the Colts. Taylor opened the season as Houston’s starter with Deshaun Watson sitting out amid a trade request and 22 lawsuits alleging sexual harassment or assault. Taylor led the Texans to a win in the opener against Jacksonville before injuring his hamstring on a touchdown run in the second quarter of a loss to Cleveland Sept. 19, and Mills took over after halftime.
