Houston Texans sign quarterback Mark Gronowski to the practice squad

The Houston Texans signed quarterback Mark Gronowski to the practice squad on September 7. Gronowski previously spent time with the Miami Dolphins before being released during final roster cuts. The Texans moved to add depth at the position following a season-ending injury to Graham Mertz, who sustained a torn ACL during the preseason. Brett Rypien, who served as a short-term replacement, was released by the team at the roster deadline. Gronowski joins the organization to provide a third option behind starter C.J. Stroud and backup Davis Mills. While scouting reports cite concerns regarding his passing precision and previous injury history, the team opted to bring in the former college standout to bolster the roster's quarterback depth.
