Texans look for new quarterback depth on practice squad

Summary

The Houston Texans are reevaluating their quarterback depth following the release of Brett Rypien. The organization currently lists C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills as the only quarterbacks on the active roster. Head coach DeMeco Ryans continues to finalize the practice squad, with officials indicating at least one additional signal-caller will be signed to the group. The team remains thin at the position following a season-ending knee injury to Graham Mertz during the preseason. Potential candidates for the remaining practice squad spots include Will Levis, Max Brosmer, or Joe Milton. The Texans are preparing for their regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bills.
