If Houston wants to stay competitive on Sunday, they\u2019ll need a similar outing from Allen, and with the way this defense is playing, that\u2019s absolutely on the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud is set to miss another game after suffering a concussion against the Denver Broncos. He returned to practice today for the first time in weeks, and the expectation is that he\u2019ll be back in the lineup next weekend against the Colts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mills hasn\u2019t been perfect, but he\u2019s been sharp and fully in command of the offense, which is exactly what Houston needs to keep the win streak alive.
