“I wish I could have done more but Davis Mills, you keep seeing him get better. I was just excited to get out there and make some plays for him.”

The Texans also signed guard Cole Toner, who spent the offseason and training camp with the club, to the practice squad. Houston also cleared a spot on their practice squad by releasing cornerback Shyheim Carter.
