Texans backup quarterback T.J. Yates expressed support and confidence in starting quarterback Tom Savage.
Savage struggled with his accuracy during a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, completing just 19 of 44 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for a 66.4 passer rating.
Yates isn't campaigning for the starting job and noted that Savage was shedding rust after watching rookie Deshaun Watson for six games until he suffered a season-ending knee injury last week.
"No, Tom's the guy right now," Yates said. "He's a heck of a quarterback. Obviously, it's going to take some time before he's going to get back in a rhythm.
