Tyrod Taylor Practicing But Not Expected To Start
3 years agoHouston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (wrist) practiced on Wednesday, but rookie Davis Mills is expected to start in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. Taylor hyperextended his left wrist and was believed to have suffered ligament damage in Week 13, and he was wearing a glove on his injured hand on Wednesday. Head coach David Culley said a decision on the starting QB this Sunday will be made later in the week, and that Taylor's injury won't be a factor in the decision. According to league sources. Mills could be the starter for the rest of the year in a lost season. Taylor's injury affects his ability to grip the football when taking snaps under center. The veteran QB has been really bad in recent weeks after returning from a stint on Injured Reserve, so it looks like Mills will be given another shot. In the lowest-scoring offense in the league (13.7 points per game), Mills will go back to being strictly a low-end QB2 emergency option in superflex leagues.
