Texans restructure Davis Mills' deal, AFC South roundup

There were no games on the AFC South schedule yesterday, but it was still a busy news day around the division, led by a contract move in Houston. While the Texans continue searching for their first win at 0-4, the Jaguars, Colts and Titans all found themselves in the national spotlight ahead of Week 5.

Texans tweak Davis Mills’ deal and stay in the spotlight

According to Pro Football Rumors, the Houston Texans restructured backup quarterback Davis Mills’ contract this week, creating $2.7 million in cap space. The outlet notes that Mills signed a one-year, $7 million extension last year and is scheduled to reach free agency after the 2026 season, though specific details of the restructure were not disclosed.

Even at 0-4, the Texans are the subject of a more measured breakdown from CBS Sports, which questions whether they are “cooked” already or if there is still time to salvage the season. Another CBS Sports betting column lists Houston among its best Week 5 plays, and a comprehensive picks piece from the network weighs in on whether this might finally be the week the Texans break through with a win.

Jaguars headline London slate

At 3-1 and atop the division, the Jacksonville Jaguars will share the international stage with the Philadelphia Eagles. CBS Sports lays out how fans can watch the London matchup, plus a pick, betting angles, kickoff information and live updates. In a separate headline, the network points to more troubling injury news for the Eagles as they prepare for Jacksonville, suggesting Philadelphia’s offense could struggle again on Sunday.

Colts get a playoff-style test, Titans in the rumor mill

The Indianapolis Colts (2-2) look to keep pace with Jacksonville on the road in Pittsburgh. CBS Sports bills Colts–Steelers as an AFC showdown with a playoff-type feel, offering viewing information, key notes and an expert preview. In another Week 5 picks piece, the same outlet predicts a Steelers bounce-back against Indianapolis while running through the odds for that matchup.

For the Tennessee Titans (0-4), there was no on-field movement, but they were mentioned in quarterback speculation. CBS Sports reports that the Eagles are releasing veteran passer Andy Dalton and lists the Titans as one of several possible landing spots. For now, Tennessee’s link to Dalton remains hypothetical as he begins his search for a new team.
