HOUSTON —The Houston Texans may be without Tyrod Taylor for the next four weeks.
According to Aaron Wilson of Sports Talk 790, the Texans starting quarterback will miss four weeks with a grade two hamstring strain he sustained during Sunday’s 31-21 loss at the Cleveland Browns. Rookie quarterback Davis Mills will likely start all four games for the Texans in Taylor’s absence.
During his media availability Monday morning, coach David Culley said he believes Taylor suffered the injury amid his 15-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter. According to Culley, Taylor did not want to exit the game at halftime, insisting he was okay.
“That’s who he is,” running back Phillip Lindsay said. “If it ain’t broke all the way, this guy is going to try to find a way to be out there, and that’s why you respect him. He’s built for it, and to be able to show that toughness for his team and his leadership, you respect that from your quarterback for sure.”
In addition to Mills, the Texans will likely elevate quarterback Jeff Driskel from the practice squad. Three-time Pro Bowler Deshaun Watson will remain deactivated despite Taylor’s loss.
