Brandon Weeden Enjoying Great Training Camp, Likely Favorite to be Houston Texans Backup

Thanks to a strong showing in NFL training camp both physically and vocally, former Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden appears to be the heavy favorite to be Deshaun Watson’s official insurance policy option with the Houston Texans this season.

Weeden isn’t vying for the starting job in Houston, nor was he expected to be with Watson returning to full health from an ACL tear. He’s doing exactly as expected by providing a steady impact on and off the field.

Here’s the Houston Chronicle on an update from his showing in training camp thus far.

Their faith in Weeden has been borne out throughout training camp as he’s made some impressive throws and provided a steady presence behind Watson.
