It’s the Davis Mills show on Thursday evening for the Houston Texans when the Buffalo Bills arrive for primetime.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been ruled out again despite returning to practice on Tuesday. He’s expected to return and play in Week 13’s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, as he’s close to clearing concussion protocol following his hit in Week 9.
Defensive back Jalen Pitre (concussion) and linebacker Jamal Hill (concussion) also were among those ruled out for Houston’s matchup on Thursday between the AFC East favorites. Several others, including offensive lineman Ed Ingram (knee) and tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) were cleared to practice and play against the Bills on Amazon Prime.
The Bills, meanwhile, will be down four starters, including tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow). Wideout Khalil Shakir missed practice and could be a game-time deciscion for a trip down to NRG Stadium.
