According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, the Houston Texans will be rolling with former Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron in the team’s final game of the regular season against division rival Tennessee Titans.
As we get ready for Titans and Texans, I’m told QB Deshaun Watson is expected to be the back up QB behind A.J. McCarron. WR DeAndre Hopkins will be active but isn’t expected to play much. Texans well aware the postseason doesn’t actually start until next weekend.
McCarron, who has served as the backup for Deshaun Watson all season, has not started a regular-season game since 2015 where he filled in for an injured Andy Dalton for the Cinncinatti Bengals.
