Even on the bye week, the Houston Texans continue to look at free agents on the workout circuit. On Tuesday the team brought in quarterback Taylor Heinicke.

Most recently with the New England Patriots practice squad, Heinicke spent his first two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. An undrafted free agent from Old Dominion, the right-hander is undersized at 6-1 and 210 pounds and has an average arm. His calling card is his accuracy, both in and out of the pocket.

The Texans currently have just two quarterbacks on the roster, Deshaun Watson and Tom Savage. Houston doesn’t even have a third option on the practice squad, which is presumably what Heinicke was in town to audition for.

Fun fact about Heinicke: at the 2015 Shrine Game practices in St. Petersburg, Heinicke was impressive enough that I tweeted about him quite a bit during the week. My phone kept correcting his name to Taylor Swift Heineken. I told him this, showed him the proof and he got a nice laugh out of it.
