Sources have indicated the Texans will sign quarterback Thad Lewis to replace Ryan Mallett, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Mallett was lost for the season after tearing his pectoral muscle Week 12 and the Texans have Ryan Fitzpatrick as their only healthy quarterback on the roster.
In six career starts, Lewis has thrown five touchdown passes and four interceptions. In Week 13, the Texans play against Tennessee.
