The Houston Texans have added quarterback Brett Rypien to their roster following the placement of Graham Mertz on season-ending injured reserve. This decision was made to enhance depth at the quarterback position.
Rypien, who has prior experience with the Cincinnati Bengals, appeared in one regular-season game in 2025, where he took three offensive snaps. With this signing, he will act as a backup option behind starting quarterbacks C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills. The specifics of Rypien's contract have not been publicly revealed.
