Texans QB Davis Mills (birth of son) didn’t travel with team

Houston Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills didn't travel to Pittsburgh with the team on Sunday and is listed as questionable by the club for Monday's AFC wild-card game against the Steelers.

Mills and his wife, Tori, welcomed their first child last week and formally announced the birth of their son Saturday on Instagram.

Mills, 27, went 3-0 as a starter this season when C.J. Stroud was sidelined with a concussion.

Overall, Mills played in six games this season and passed for 915 yards, five touchdowns and one interception.

In five seasons with the Texans, Mills has completed 61.8% of his passes for 7,082 yards, 40 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. He was a third-round selection out of Stanford in 2021.

Rookie Graham Mertz, a sixth-round choice, is Houston's third-string quarterback.

Houston also ruled out cornerback Ajani Carter (hamstring), who didn't travel to Pittsburgh. Carter, 25, saw action in two games this season, both on special teams.
