Texans quarterback battle: Hoyer impresses, Mallett throwing lasers

The Texans quarterback battle continues as the team approaches the end of their first full week of training camp. Both Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer have taken turns at quarterback with the first team, and neither has created any noticeable separation.

Mallett was brought to Houston last season in a trade from the New England Patriots, and it seemed heading into the offseason he would be the starting quarterback for the Texans going forward. Instead, the team brought in another one of head coach Bill O’Brien’s quarterbacks from his Patriot days, Brian Hoyer.
