The Houston Texans have added quarterback Brett Rypien to their roster following the placement of Graham Mertz on season-ending injured reserve. This decision aims to enhance the team's quarterback depth.
Previously, Rypien played for the Cincinnati Bengals and saw action in one regular-season game in 2025, where he took three offensive snaps. With his addition, he will act as a backup option behind starters C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills.
Details regarding the specifics of Rypien's contract have not been made public.
