Texans' Bill O'Brien, Rick Smith 'dealing with' Ryan Mallett situation

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien remains mum on the fate of backup quarterback Ryan Mallett, who missed the team charter to Florida on Saturday.

Mallett said he got caught in traffic.

Here's a quick transcript of the questions and answers on the topic from O'Brien's press conference Monday:

"We're dealing with Ryan Mallett and that situation internally, (general manager) Rick Smith and I," O'Brien said, as part of his opening statement. "So I won't have any comment on that at this point."

You say you're handling it internally, what does that mean?
