Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Davis Mills

Friday, October 31, 11:35 AM

The Athletic's Josh Kendall reports that the Atlanta Falcons have yet to have "any serious trade discussions with another team," regarding quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline. Cousins has been the speculation of quarterback-needy teams, although his recent performance in a blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins likely didn't help his case. As it stands, Atlanta is likely to hold both the veteran and second-year pro Michael Penix Jr. (knee). However, Kendall notes that doesn't mean Cousins is a long-term fit for the team. He figures to resume backup duties behind Penix Jr. once the latter is fully recovered from his knee injury. That's likely to change following the 2025 season.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 27 of his 45 pass attempts for 292 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also tallied 20 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. The 27-year-old played quite well in the absence of C.J. Stroud (concussion), leading an impressive comeback and getting the Texans a win to keep their playoff aspirations in a realistic spot. Given the typical timeline for a concussion recovery, Stroud has a good chance to return against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11, sending Mills back to the bench.
