The Houston Texans have added quarterback Brett Rypien to their roster as of Saturday. This decision follows the placement of Graham Mertz on season-ending injured reserve, which created a need for additional quarterback support.
Previously with the Cincinnati Bengals, Rypien appeared in one regular-season game in 2025, where he took three offensive snaps. He is expected to serve as an emergency backup behind the team's starting quarterbacks, C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills.
Details regarding the specifics of Rypien's contract have not yet been made public.
