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.
