The Houston Texans have signed veteran backup quarterback Davis Mills to a one-year extension worth $5 million. Sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the new contract will keep Mills, 25, in Houston through the 2025 season. Mills is set to be the backup to Texans starter C.J. Stroud.

The QB started 26 games from 2021-2022, where he went 5-20-1 and threw for 5,802 yards with 33 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. Over six appearances last season for the Texans, Mills completed 18 of 39 (46.2%) of his throws for 173 yards and two scores

The Texans will face the Indianapolis Colts in their season opener at 1 p.m. EDT Sunday in Indianapolis.
