Reality sets in for Texans backup QB T.J. Yates

Posted Nov 30, 2013
T.J. Yates, 26, has been nearly invisible in 2013, recently serving as one of seven Texans game-day inactives while 53 other players take the field. He’s the forgotten quarterback. Buried by the first wave of Case Keenum mania. “It’s obviously a frustrating year for everybody. And I am obviously frustrated as a player. I’d love to get a shot to try to get this team back on track,” Yates said. (Houston Chronicle)
