Report: Tyrod Taylor could miss four weeks with hamstring injury

Texans head coach David Culley said Monday that quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffers from a hamstring injury on a daily basis, but the time frame for his return would be considerably longer.

John McClain from Houston Chronicle reports that Taylor could miss four weeks as a result of the injury. The Texans are set to face the Panthers at home Thursday, then play a road game with the Bills, a home game against the Patriots and a trip to Indianapolis.

A four-week schedule would also make Taylor a candidate for the injured reserve, as he could return after missing at least three games.

Culley said the team will not activate Deshaun Watson this week, leaving third-round pick Davis Mills in line to start against Carolina. Jeff Driskel is on the practice squad and will likely be bred to serve as a replacement for Mills.
