The Houston Texans signed veteran quarterback Brett Rypien to a contract on Saturday and placed fellow quarterback Graham Mertz on season-ending injured reserve.
Texans Roster Move
Rypien, 30, will be the third quarterback on the depth chart behind starter C.J. Stroud and veteran backup Davis Mills. Rypien has made four NFL starts since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019 with the Denver Broncos.
Mertz sustained a knee injury during a scramble late in the second quarter of the Texans’ 27-7 preseason loss to the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Before leaving, he completed 4 of 7 passes for 23 yards.
