The Houston Texans have informed Davis Mills that he is being benched in favor of quarterback Kyle Allen for Week 12. Allen will officially play in Miami against the Dolphins as the team has lost five in a row and have a 1-8-1 record.
The NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo reported the news via Twitter on Wednesday.
Mills attended Stanford from 2017-2020, taking over the starting job in 2019. He was the Texans’ first pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, all the way in the third round (pick number 67). He was thrust into the starting job as Deshaun Watson refused to play and wanted a trade away from Houston.
In 10 games this year, Mills has a completion percentage of just under 62 percent. He’s thrown for 2,144 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also has a league-leading 11 interceptions so far this season. These numbers are relatively similar (albeit slightly worse) as his numbers last season in 13 total games played.
