They called their former backup T.J. Yates...who isn't even on a practice squad anywhere.
Case Keenum is already a backup for the Rams.
Tebow?

Carolina Panthers have a terrific back-up QB in Joe Webb. But it’ll cost ya.....
Gosh....that’s terrible....the guy’s iPhone battery died AND his alarm clock wasn’t working. What are the odds of having that bad go?
Tebow to the rescue!!!
I'd start thinking about replacing O'Brien.
I was never a fan of Mallett and was glad when the Patriots let him go.
Patience Texans, Johnny Football will be available for you soon enough.
An opportunity for Jerry Jones to pickup another losing qb.
Mallett might be my least-favorite player in the NFL right now, because the players I don’t like are the ones who won’t do the work to get the most out of their natural talent. And there may be no one in the NFL who gets less out of his talent than Mallett.
The Texans’ team flight to Miami for yesterday’s game against the Dolphins took off without Mallett, because Mallett didn’t make it to the airport. Mallett explained that there was traffic in Houston, and he couldn’t get to the airport in time.
Do you buy that excuse? When you add up the players, the coaches, the trainers and the various support staff that travel with an NFL team, it can be 100 or so people. There’s no indication that any of them other than Mallett missed the flight. Did they all get to the Houston airport by hoverboard? Or did they get to the airport on time despite experiencing the same traffic in Houston that Mallett hit, because they — gasp — accounted for that traffic when they decided when to leave for the airport?
And, of course, stuff like this is par for the course from Mallett. After Mallett lost out to Brian Hoyer in the Texans’ quarterback competition in training camp, he no-showed a practice that week. When Mallett was at the Scouting Combine before the 2011 draft, he skipped a meeting with the Panthers after staying out late the night before.
Some players have such a drive to succeed in the NFL that they’ll do anything to make it. Mallett is not one of those players. It’s a shame because Mallett has a big arm and the talent to be a good NFL quarterback, but he just doesn’t have the mental makeup of a successful NFL quarterback.
I’d love to see a former Baylor QB end up in Houston but I doubt the Texans want another ‘all-bout-me’ QB.
