The Texans plan to have Brian Hoyer back as their starting quarterback this week, and the release of Zac Dysert from the practice squad Tuesday indicates all is well with Hoyer.
Hoyer suffered a concussion Nov. 16 and missed last week’s game. That made T.J. Yates the starter against the Jets, but Hoyer cleared the league’s concussion protocol on Monday.
The Texans claimed Brandon Weeden on waivers last week instead of promoting Dysert. With Hoyer set to return to practice Wednesday, that probably makes Weeden the scout team quarterback and made Dysert expendable.
Dysert was cut by the Broncos and Bears in the preseason. He was a seventh-round pick of the Broncos in 2013.
