With the Texans suffering more injuries to their quarterback depth chart on Monday, the team has signed veteran signal caller Josh Johnson for their regular season finale, reports Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Houston placed safety Corey Moore on injured reserve with a sprained medial collateral ligament to make room for Johnson on the active roster.
Texans QB’s T.J. Yates and Taylor Heinicke both suffered concussions in the team’s blowout loss to the Steelers in Week 16. While Yates was able to return to the game after Heinicke was forced to exit, Houston obviously wanted more insurance on the roster to able to take some snaps should another injury occur this weekend.
At 31 years old, Johnson hasn’t seen regular season playing time since 2013 with the Bengals. His most extensive game action came in 2009 with the Bucs as the former fifth round pick completed 63 of 125 pass attempts for four touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Johnson has been a journeyman QB for most of his career was cut by the Giants before the start of this regular season. He had since signed with the Texans in the middle of the year before being released in November.
If only CK hadn’t sued the league, he probably would have been able to play ball this year.
If only CK actually wanted to play ball and not play the role of a BS martyr.
If only CK hadnt opted out of a contract to see greener pastures, he would still be the starting QB in Santa Clara
49ers are better off with out his drama Jimmy G is doing good for them.
How does this guy keep showing up w different teams?
They let Yates back in the game after a concussion? So the Texans just making that a habit.
Remember when CK and Russell Wilson were in a commercial together? We all said “wow”! Now there are two great QB’s.
When CK and Russell Wilson were a marquee match-up
