Mertz tears right ACL in preseason; expected to miss entire season.

Mertz, a 2025 6th round selection competing for the QB3 position, suffered a season-ending ACL tear in the first half. After a 9-yard scramble, he was on the ground holding his leg and did not return. The injury was confirmed as a right ACL tear expected to miss the rest of the season. This is particularly concerning given that Mertz's college career at Florida also ended with an ACL tear. The source notes this leaves Houston in a dire situation with only Stroud and Mills as effective QBs on the roster.
