The Houston Texans have signed Matt McGloin after losing Deshaun Watson for the remainder of the 2017 season with a torn ACL.

McGloin played for the Oakland Raiders from 2013 until 2016 but didn't start in their playoff game after Derek Carr was hurt as the team instead turned to Connor Cook.

McGloin signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason and was released before the start of the season.

McGloin played for Bill O'Brien at Penn State.

The Texans passed on an opportunity to pursue Colin Kaepernick despite owner Bob McNair's racially charged comments during a recent meeting with players over the anthem controversy.
