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.

Previously, Rypien played for the Cincinnati Bengals and saw action in one regular-season game during 2025, where he took three offensive snaps. With this signing, he will act as an emergency option behind current starters C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills.

Specifics about the contract terms for Rypien have not been made public.
