Savage (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's playoff game against the Raiders.
This is no surprise, coming just one day after we learned Brock Osweiler will start Saturday afternoon's playoff game in place of Savage. Brandon Weeden will serve as Osweiler's backup. If Osweiler shows anything positive and the Texans should advance to the divisional round, a medically cleared Savage may not return as the starter. While he didn't make any mistakes in two-plus games as Houston's starting quarterback, the Texans' offense didn't execute appreciably better under Savage than it did Osweiler.
