After suggesting the possibility of a quarterback change earlier this week, Texans coach Lovie Smith confirmed Friday the team has elected to name a new starter for Week 12.
Smith told reporters quarterback Kyle Allen will take over for Davis Mills under center on Sunday for the Texans’ game against the Dolphins in Miami. The announcement comes just a few days after Smith refused to commit to Mills, a 2021 third-round pick, going forward and admitted the rebuilding Texans (1–8–1) needed to do things differently following a 23–10 Week 11 loss to the Commanders.
