Texans Rumors: Davis Mills Benched, Kyle Allen Will Start at QB vs. Dolphins

The Houston Texans are benching Davis Mills and making Kyle Allen their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Head coach Lovie Smith didn't commit to either Mills or Allen, but the latter was taking some of the former's practice reps with the first team Wednesday.
