AFC Notes: Colts, Davis Mills, Texans, Titans, Jon Robinson

Colts

Colts interim HC Jeff Saturday confirmed a change at quarterback could be in the cards ahead of Week 15. It would be the second time veteran QB Matt Ryan has been benched this season if it happens. 

โ€œI actually had that conversation this morning. Weโ€™re going to look at everything โ€” no position in particular, but everybody,โ€ Saturday said, via Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. โ€œWe need the best 11 on the field every time. If we think somebody gives us a better chance to win, letโ€™s have those discussions this week.โ€

Texans

The Texans have the top priority in the waiver order, but they appear to be looking at their options in-house at quarterback rather than whether former Panthers QB Baker Mayfield would be a fit. 

โ€œTo be truthful, the only video that Iโ€™ve been really studying is ours,โ€ Smith said via Aaron Wilson. โ€œThatโ€™s a hard story a little bit. To answer your question, everybody thatโ€™s available we look at. We see if they fit. Weโ€™re constantly trying to improve our roster, so if thereโ€™s anybody thatโ€™s out there, thatโ€™s what we do. Donโ€™t know enough about Baker or anything like that. Weโ€™re trying to get better play from the guys we have on our current roster. Thatโ€™s what weโ€™re really focused on right now.โ€

  • Wilson reports that the Texans are strongly considering going back to QB Davis Mills after a dismal pair of starts from QB Kyle Allen.

Titans

  • Click2Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports Titans HC Mike Vrabel is expected to have “significant power” following the firing of GM Jon Robinson.
  • According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, the team’s leadership was unhappy with the direction of Robinson’s roster and decided to fire him despite the team leading the AFC South.
