Shows promise in loss
Mills completed 21 of 29 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 5 against the Patriots.
Analysis: Mills combined to throw for 357 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions across his first three professional starts. However, he delivered an impressive performance against the Patriots by both taking care of the ball and taking shots deep down the field. He connected with Chris Moore and Chris Conley to combine for four completions of 20 yards or more and also delivered his first multiple touchdown performance, tossing scores from 67, 37 and 11 yards. This lone performance may not change…read more

Four picks against Bills
Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 87 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: There were reports prior to the matchup that the Texans planned to open the offense up for Mills. That didn't go according to plan, as Mills threw a pair of interceptions in both the first and second half. He also averaged only 4.1 yards per attempt, and his longest completion of the day went for 16 yards. While it was certainly a poor outing, Mills will likely get at least one more start with Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) on injured reserve for a Week 5 matchup against the Patriots.

Will have reins loosened Week 4
The Texans plan to open up the offense for Mills in his second start Sunday against the Bills, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Mills made his first NFL start Week 3 against the Panthers on just three days' preparation. As such, the coaching staff placed limitations on the rookie quarterback. Houston head coach David Culley believes the staff went too far in trying to protect Mills, who threw for 168 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over. The Texans may want to open up the offense, but they may have no choice against Buffalo, which averages 31.3 points per game. In whatever shape the game takes, it would…read more

Holds his own in Week 3 loss
Mills completed 19 of 28 passes for 168 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Texans' 24-9 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night. He also rushed once for no gain and recovered a fumble.
Analysis: Making his first NFL start on a short week against a defense that was ranked No. 1 on a yards-per-game basis against both the run and pass, Mills turned in an admirable albeit pedestrian fantasy performance. Mills took four sacks and nine hits overall in the contest, but also displayed good rapport with the trio of Brandin Cooks, Jordan Akins and Anthony Miller in particular, hitting the latter for his one touchdown pass of the night. With Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) on injured reserve, Mills…read more

Confirmed as Week 3 starter
Mills will start at quarterback Thursday against the Panthers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Tyrod Taylor is on track to sit out Thursday and likely additional contests after going down with a hamstring injury in Sunday's loss to the Browns. That leaves Mills, a rookie third-round pick, in line for a multi-game run atop the depth chart. Mills' initial work in relief of Taylor wasn't promising; he completed eight of 18 attempts for 102 yards, one touchdown and one interception while fumbling once on 33 snaps against Cleveland. For as long as the Texans can keep things close with the…read more

On track to fill in for Taylor
With Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) expected to miss time, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Mills is in line to start Thursday night's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Though Taylor's looming absence has not yet been officially confirmed by the Texans, the veteran QB isn't expected to play Thursday, at a minimum, and an IR stint could be in the cards for him. As a result, with Deshaun Watson not being considered as an option to replace Taylor, Mills is in line to start versus Carolina, while Jeff Driskel is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad to Houston's active roster to serve as the team's backup signal-caller Week 3.

Struggles in first taste of action
Mills came into Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns for Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) and completed eight of 18 passes for 102 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also netted minus-1 yard on two carries and committed a fumble that was recovered by Houston.
Analysis: Mills unsurprisingly had his share of struggles upon unexpectedly having to enter the contest, but he was able to redeem himself to an extent with a two-yard touchdown toss to Brandin Cooks in the fourth quarter. The rookie third-round pick could be called on to start Thursday night's Week 3 matchup against the Panthers given the quick turnaround and the notoriously tricky nature of the the type of soft-tissue injury that prompted Taylor's early exit Sunday.

Uneven against Tampa Bay
Mills completed 10 of 27 passes for 106 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Saturday's 23-16 loss to Tampa Bay in preseason Week 3.
Analysis: Mills' two-TD/three-pick night was part of a strange game in which Houston rushed for more than 200 yards, forced three turnovers and still lost. The rookie quarterback's uneven effort is emblematic of his entire preseason: some good, some bad and not enough to be a starter come Week 1 of the regular season. He's expected to get a chance down the road, but Mills should back up Tyrod Taylor when the Texans host the Jaguars in two weeks.

Leads six drives, one scoring
Mills went 10-for-16 passing for 115 yards in Saturday's 20-14 win over Dallas in preseason Week 2.
Analysis: Mills was under center for six drives between the second and fourth quarters, one of which resulted in points. The rookie quarterback engineered a drive of 70 yards that ended in a field goal. The Cowboys blitzed often during the game, which led to a sack of Mills and an intentional grounding by the rookie. "What's nice is that it's still preseason," Mills told Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. "Dallas did a really good job disguising some of their looks, but that gives us really good practice for…read more

Preseason performance like camp
Mills completed 11 of 22 passes for 112 yards with one interception in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Packers in preseason Week 1.
Analysis: Mills entered early after starter Tyrod Taylor played one series and threw up a performance much like his action during camp -- some strong throws, some misses and a turnover. Mills did engineer a couple of scoring drives before giving way to Jeff Driskel early in the third quarter, which established the quarterback pecking order entering the regular season. Presuming the Texans are not in competition for a playoff spot, they'll eventually need to get Mills on the field to evaluate him as the…read more

Throwing picks with regularity
Mills has turned the ball over on most days during sessions and looks slow to process the more competitive periods of practice, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.
Analysis: Mills began Thursday's session with a sack to begin a drive, then ended it with interception. It should not shock followers that a mid-round quarterback is making ugly plays in camp, but the important thing is if Mills can learn from his mistakes. "As elementary as it sounds, (the key is) not making the same mistake twice," offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said of coaching rookie quarterbacks. "For us as coaches, when we can get that from our players, it shows that they're coachable." The Texans…read more

Bounces back
Mills looked better in one-on-one and team drills Monday than he did Saturday, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Mills threw several interceptions when he stepped in with the first-team offense for red-zone drills Saturday, but he was reportedly more accurate Monday. "I thought he bounced back really well," Texans head coach David Culley said. "We expected that. What that tells me about him is he's not going to get rattled." Mills has been getting increased reps with Tyrod Taylor (personal) away from the team.

Works out with first team
Mills spent time with the first-team offense Saturday, as Tyrod Taylor (personal) was not at practice, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It was a red-zone day for the Texans, and Mills started well, throwing touchdown strikes to Jordan Akins and Chris Conley. Later, however, he was picked off twice by safety Justin Reid. Overall, the rookie threw five interceptions, per Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. Houston head coach David Culley took a big-picture view, noting it was a good learning experience for Mills, the 2021 third-round draft pick that is expected to back up Taylor and possibly Jeff Driskel.
