Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien confirmed Monday that his team talked about the possibility of signing Colin Kaepernick after Deshaun Watson was lost for the season, but emphasized it was part of the team's usual discussions about available free agents.

"Everybody gets discussed," O'Brien said, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. "Is that a problem? Don't most teams do it like that? We talk about the roster and what's out there every day, (general manager) Rick (Smith) and I."
O'Brien added, "Colin Kaepernick is a good football player, hasn't played in a while. These things are going to continue to be discussed."
O'Brien also said he expects Tom Savage to remain the starter for Week 10 despite a terrible performance in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
The quarterback was 9-for-28 passing for 96 yards in the first half and ended the game with a 43.2 percent completion percentage and an average of 5 yards per attempt.
"Right now, I do expect him to be the starter," O'Brien said. "We've got to get Tom playing better. I think he has the ability to play better."
