Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Malik Willis

Saturday, August 9, 2:41 PM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is expected to start in Saturday's preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Mills has started 26 games with the Texans in his four-year career, totaling 6,167 yards, with 35 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. With starting quarterback C.J. Stroud sitting out, Mills will get the nod for the Texans. He was listed as the the second quarterback in the Texans' unofficial depth chart with rookie quarterback Graham Mertz as the third string. Mills will suit up alongside rookie playmakers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, as he looks to cement his backup quarterback role.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that backup quarterback Malik Willis will play in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers also plan on playing some or most of their starters, at least for a little bit. We would be surprised if starting QB Jordan Love (thumb) plays this weekend after having a minor surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb last week. The 26-year-old Willis went 6-for-14 for 83 yards on the first three possessions of the second preseason game last weekend against the Indianapolis Colts. Love is fully expected to be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September, so Willis is primed to open the season as Green Bay's backup signal-caller. The former third-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 played in seven games in his first year with the Packers in 2024 and led the team to two wins with Love sidelined by injury.
