It’s officially Case Keenum’s show in Houston this week.
Per Ari Meirov, the Texans will start veteran backup Case Keenum in Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans instead of Davis Mills while C.J. Stroud continues to recover from a concussion.

“Flacco, Lock, Keenum, Rypien … Teddy and Trevor Siemian need to get a start this season to continue the trend of former starting Broncos quarterbacks somehow starting a game in 2023,” another replied.

Houston is 7-6 and dropping two of its last three games. A win at Tennessee would go a long way in keeping the Texans’ playoff hopes alive.
