T.J. Yates is back with the Texans.
The quarterback who helped lead the team to the franchise's first playoff berth and victory signed with the Texans and practiced at the Houston Methodist Training Center on Wednesday.
"He's got some familiarity with our offense and can do the job for us," Bill O'Brien said.
The head coach also added that Yates had a "good" practice and showed "good recall" of the offense.
Yates was a 5th-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, and wound up playing quarterback in six regular season games and a pair of playoff games.
