Texans head coach Bill O'Brien confirmed Monday that quarterback Brian Hoyer has cleared concussion protocol and will start against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
O'Brien made the announcement at a press conference.
T.J. Yates will remain No. 2 on the depth chart. Yates started Sunday's game against the Jets -- a 24-17 win. Yates came in when Hoyer suffered a concussion in the Texans' 10-6 win against the Bengals.
The Texans will look to improve their 5-5 record against a 4-6 New Orleans team.
