The Houston Texans will sign veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme to back up rookie T.J. Yates, a league source has told National Football Post.

Delhomme spent last year with the Cleveland Browns but enjoyed his best years with the Carolina Panthers.

Delhomme won out in his audition on Tuesday over Jeff Garcia, who also had worked out for the Texans last week. Yates will make his first start on Sunday against Atlanta for the Texans.
