Former Wolverine QB Released

The Texans released former Michigan quarterback Ryan Mallett three days after he missed the team's charter flight to Miami for the game against the Dolphins. The 27-year-old quarterback claimed he got caught in traffic, and this wasn't the first time he drew coach Bill O'Brien's ire for being tardy - Mallett missed a practice in training camp after oversleeping.  His poor play in four starts for the QB-needy Texans certainly didn't help, and now Houston is left looking to add another quarterback to the roster to back up starter and former Spartan Brian Hoyer.
