The Houston Texans announced the signing of quarterback Brett Rypien on Saturday. This move comes after Graham Mertz was placed on season-ending injured reserve, prompting the team to seek additional depth at the quarterback position.

Rypien, who played in one regular-season game for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025, will serve as an emergency option behind starters C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills. He took only three offensive snaps during his time with the Bengals, and further details regarding the contract have not been disclosed.
