Brian Hoyer is dealing with memory loss from concussion

The Houston Texans will start back-up quarterback T.J. Yates on Sunday against the New York Jets, as regular starter Brian Hoyer is still recovering from a concussion.

In fact, Hoyer, who sustained his concussion Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, has reportedly experienced some memory loss due to the injury.

The reason Brian Hoyer isn't playing against the Jets is cause he suffered memory loss against Bengals. He should return against Saints. — John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) November 19, 2015

With the NFL taking head injuries much more seriously over the past few years, it should come as no surprise that Hoyer will miss a game after suffering his concussion.
