Taylor hasn’t been activated from “designated for return from injured reserve” since launching his 21-day practice window, but is taking first-team snaps this week.
“With Tyrod, we’ll kind of see where he’s at on Wednesday,” Texans coach David Culley said Monday morning at NRG Stadium.
A former Pro Bowl selection, Taylor completed 10 of 11 passes for 125 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for a 144.3 passer rating before having to leave the Browns game at halftime after hurting while running for a touchdown with defensive end Myles Garrett swiping at his left leg.
Mills rallied the Texans a bit while orchestrating a hurry-up offense in the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach and the Rams having already pulled starting quarterback Matthew Stafford after three quarters while holding a commanding 38-0 lead.
Basically the way we do things and are calling things, he’s doing what he needs to do.
He touches the ball, but he’s not the guy who’s responsible for everything that happening.
