Ryan Mallett is getting another chance in the NFL.

Mallett, the quarterback who was cut by the Texans after oversleeping and missing a team flight, will sign with the Ravens, according to Dianna Marie Russini of ESPN.

A 2011 third-round pick of the Patriots, Mallett started six games in Houston over the last two years. But he fell out of favor with coach Bill O’Brien multiple instances of showing up late to work.

Mallett has a strong arm but hasn’t shown much growth as a passer during his NFL career. He probably won’t see the field in Baltimore over the final three weeks of the season, but the Ravens would like to get a look at what he can do, and have him on the roster in case of an emergency.

On Sunday Jimmy Clausen started for the Ravens and Bryn Renner backed him up. Joe Flacco is out for the season with a torn ACL and second-string quarterback Matt Schaub missed Sunday’s game as well.
