Brock Osweiler to start for Texans against Raiders
Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler will start for the team on Saturday in their AFC wild-card matchup against the Oakland Raiders, head coach Bill O'Brien announced Tuesday.
Backup Tom Savage had started the past two games and still in the concussion protocol after being injured in the team's season finale against the Tennessee Titans. If Savage is not cleared to backup Osweiler then Brandon Weeden will be the backup.
"We have a lot of confidence that he will go out and play well for us," O'Brien said of Osweiler. "He's been a pro. He's been studying like he's the starter. He hasn't changed at all. He's ready to go."
