Texans Bring In Rypien After Mertz Injury | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans’ preseason hit a rough patch with a 20-point loss to the Chargers—and got worse when third-string QB Graham Mertz went down with a torn ACL. In a swift move, they signed veteran Brett Rypien, a journeyman QB with limited NFL experience and more interceptions than touchdowns. Rypien could make his Texans debut this Thursday against the Raiders, but head coach DeMeco Ryans insists starters C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills will get first crack if healthy. Kickoff: 7 PM.
