Stroud suffered a concussion during last week\u2019s game, and HC DeMeco Ryans has already ruled him out for Sunday. Davis Mills is a serviceable backup, but he does have a tendency to turn the ball over. In 26 starts, Mills has thrown 25 interceptions, which leaves more to be desired with Stroud out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jaguars\/\" target=\"_self\">Jacksonville<\/a> made a trade for Greg Newsome II to help their struggling secondary, which is giving up nearly 250 pass yards a game.

Odunze has been managing a heel injury since the beginning of the season, but he landed on the injury report for the first time last week. He did not practice on Wednesday, but this could just be some injury maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_self\">Giants<\/a> are dealing with injuries across their secondary. Last week, they missed a few key pieces, including Flott. Flott did practice in a limited fashion as he recovers from a concussion. With Paulson Adebo not practising again, that would leave Flott as the top corner for the Giants. Odunze will surely bounce back this week and could possibly see some forced targets.<\/p>\n<h3>Bench: PIT WR D.K.
