Per ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the Bills injuries will put a heavy focus on the Bills to control the game offensively. That means a bigger workload for running back James Cook, and especially so when it comes to finding opportunities in the passing game out of the backfield–– boding well for the Texans' pass rush.

C.J. Stroud will miss Week 12 as the Houston Texans face the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football,” but his return appears imminent.

Houston will rely on Davis Mills under center against Buffalo. The veteran led the team to a comeback victory over the Jaguars and another win in Week 11 against the Titans. He has plenty of experience for the Texans since he started a combined 26 games in 2021 and 2022.

The Buffalo Bills will look to make it two wins in a row as they take on the Houston Texans Sunday at NRG Stadium.

The Houston Texans drew unfortunate attention with their latest injury update on Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon.

Something remarkable happened in the Buffalo Bills victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Sure, Josh Allen accounted for six touchdowns. But the Bills finally didn't lose a single defensive players due to injury.

As is the case with Houston, there is a key injury to keep your eye on with the Bills as the week unfolds. TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and his 29 receptions may well be sidelined for the matchup. Fun Facts: The Bills have won eight consecutive Thursday Night games while the Texans have won two straight on Thursday Night as a home underdog.
