The Houston Texans have officially signed quarterback Brett Rypien to a contract as of Saturday. This decision follows the placement of Graham Mertz on season-ending injured reserve, which led the Texans to seek further depth at the quarterback position.
Rypien, who has prior experience with the Cincinnati Bengals, played in one regular-season game in 2025, where he recorded three offensive snaps. With this signing, he will act as an emergency option behind the team's starting quarterbacks, C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills.
Details regarding the specific terms of Rypien's contract have not been made public.
