Ok great. The Texans did the right thing, the smart thing, the have Tom Savage inactive for this week’s game. Against the Jaguars’ pass defense and pass rush he would lose another life, and after suffering probably at least two concussions he shouldn’t play for the rest of the season. So next man up. T.J. Yates is the starting quarterback, and the backup is the one and the only, the belle of the ball, Taylor Heinicke.

This is his third season in the NFL. He completed a lot of passes and threw for a lot of yards when he was in college at Old Dominion.
