As quarterbacks drop like flies in Houston, the Texans are forced to bring back ones they previously dropped.

According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are bringing back Case Keenum to fill the roster spot created when Ryan Fitzpatrick broke his leg yesterday.

Keenum was with the team through the preseason, but was released in final cuts and signed with the Rams’ practice squad.

The Texans are scrambling a bit, since injuries to Fitzpatrick and Ryan Mallett had them down to rookie Tom Savage yesterday, and he emerged with a knee injury that will send him to an MRI tube today.

The only other quarterback on the roster is Thad Lewis, but he was inactive yesterday, which had punter Shane Lechler warming up.
