Another week, still a backup QB for the Houston Texans.

Davis Mills is starting Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. C.J. Stroud keeps watching.

It's a bummer for Houston, but it's the spot they find themselves in.

Mills led a heroic comeback in Week 10, and they'll hope he can lead them past the lowly Titans this week.

Why isn't C.J. Stroud playing today?

He was concussed in Week 9.

During the second quarter, Stroud took off on a scramble, and as he slid toward the ground, he was hit hard, causing his head to snap back into the turf.

Stroud exited the game and didn't return as he was placed into concussion protocol.

This is his second missed game in a row.

When is C.J. Stroud coming back?

It's not clear yet when Stroud will be back.

The Texans have a quick turnaround to Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. It'd be great to get Stroud back for that, but it's not a lot of time to get ready.
