The Houston Texans have signed quarterback Brett Rypien to a contract as of Saturday. This move comes in response to Graham Mertz being placed on season-ending injured reserve due to a knee injury, prompting the Texans to seek additional depth at the quarterback position.
Rypien previously played in one regular-season game for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025, where he took three offensive snaps. With the Texans, he will 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 disclosed.
