Taylor Heinicke: Joins Houston's practice squad

The Texans signed Heinicke to their practice squad Wednesday.

Heinecke will officially settle in as the No. 3 quarterback in the organization behind Tom Savage and T.J. Yates, both of whom occupy spots on the 53-man roster. Unless one of those two players succumbs to an injury, it's unlikely that Heinecke will receive a promotion during the Texans' final five regular-season contests.
