HOUSTON — Houston quarterback Brian Hoyer has turned to acupuncture after suffering his second concussion in a month.

Hoyer returned to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, but remains in the league's protocol after suffering a concussion on Dec. 13 and is questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee. Speaking to the media for the first time since then, he said he started seeing an acupuncturist after his first concussion on Nov. 16 and that he's continued to see the specialist since the second one.

He believes it's helped his recovery.

"I think so," he said.
