The Houston Texans announced the signing of quarterback Brett Rypien on Saturday. This move comes after Graham Mertz was placed on season-ending injured reserve due to a knee injury, prompting the Texans to seek additional depth at the quarterback position.
Rypien, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025, appeared in just one regular-season game, where he took three offensive snaps. With the Texans, he is expected to serve as an emergency option behind starting quarterback C.J. Stroud and backup Davis Mills.
Further details regarding the terms of Rypien's contract have not yet been provided.
