NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Houston Texans are going into the playoffs with their quarterback situation unsettled once again, this time a combination of injury and improved play by Brock Osweiler.
Tom Savage wound up sidelined by a concussion Sunday, and Osweiler played well enough after coming off the bench in Houston’s 24-17 loss at Tennessee that coach Bill O’Brien said the Texans will be evaluating who starts their AFC wild-card game.
“We will talk about that as a staff,” O’Brien said. “We will talk about that tomorrow and the next day.”
Savage started for the AFC South champions, left in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion and was cleared. He took a snap to kneel down on the final play of the first half, and O’Brien told team radio Savage would play in the second half. But Savage was diagnosed with a concussion after being re-evaluated at halftime.
O’Brien said he did not know what happened. The Texans (9-7) will host either Kansas City or Oakland next weekend.
