Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor was forced out of Sunday’s game early with a hamstring injury. Tomorrow’s MRI will give a fuller picture, but the QB has already been ruled out of Thursday night’s contest against the Panthers. (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). 
Taylor was replaced by rookie Davis Mills as the Browns went on to win 31-21. It’ll be Mills once again on Thursday night, making his first ever NFL start. When speaking with reporters, head coach David Culley declined to say whether Deshaun Watson could wind up on the 53-man roster for Week 3. But, based on the way things have been going, we’d be shocked to see Watson activated for Thursday night.
Mills, a third-round pick, finished the day going 8-of-18 for 102 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Taylor, before his early exit, completed 10 of 11 throws for 125 yards and one TD.
The Texans will head into Thursday night with a 1-1 record, thanks to their Week 1 victory over the Jaguars.
how many ladders has Tyrod walked under
Probably a few after he tripped over a black cat
Take the number of mirrors he’s broken and cut that in half. There’s your answer.
Texans are going to battle the Jags and Jets for the 1st pick in the draft
The Falcons are on that list as well
Time to start Watson!
The NFL wont let that happen the first time they activate him on the active roster they will suspend him.
then why not just do that already?
I imagine that’s an NFLPA thing. Not that I know anything. But seems like a red tape thing more than anything.
Ironic that a Robert Kraft gets caught doing the same thing and receives a slap on the wrist, and everything is quickly swept under the rug.
I dont think “swept under the rug” is the right way of putting it, given the FBI’s involvement.
What a shame. The Texans have been playing hard under Taylor. It probably helps their draft position though, as Mills doesn’t seem to have good decision making skills and thus the Texans will struggle to win another game.
As for Watson, he won’t see the field, as there is no way the Texans can take a chance on him earning any money on his new contract due to “injury”.
Tyrod Taylor must have been Genghis Khan in a past life or something.
