Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills joined the team in Pittsburgh and is expected to be available for Monday night's wild-card matchup at the Steelers, according to an NFL Network report.

After not traveling with the team due to his wife giving birth, Mills is listed as questionable on the injury report due to personal reasons.

Mills, 27, appeared in six games and made three starts this season. He completed 57.2% of his passes for 915 yards, five touchdowns and one interception, adding 60 rushing yards and a score.

The Texans' (12-5) nine-game winning streak to finish the regular season started with Mills' three starts when starter C.J. Stroud was sidelined with a concussion.

The winner of Monday's game will play at the second-seeded New England Patriots on Sunday.
