Texans Fear QB Suffered Season-Ending ACL Injury
The Houston Texans may have lost one of their three QBs to a brutal ACL injury in Thursday's preseason game vs. the Chargers.
The Houston Texans are grappling with potential season-ending news after their preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Bill O'Brien's starting quarterback, C.J. Stroud, and backup quarterback, Davis Mills, are the only reliable options at the position. However, their depth was significantly impacted when rookie quarterback Graham Mertz suffered a torn ACL during the game.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the injury, stating that Mertz may be out for nine to twelve months, potentially sidelining him until next year. With only two quarterbacks on the roster, the Texans face a challenging task in finding a replacement, with options such as Jimmy Garoppolo, Jeff Driskel, John Wolford, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Tim Boyle, Jake Haener, Desmond Ridder, and Diego Pavia available through free agency.
