The Facts: The Texans waived third-string quarterback Dave Ragone on Friday and promoted Boston College rookie Quinton Porter to the No. 3 spot. "Dave's a great kid, and he will play in this league," Gary Kubiak said. "However, he's a big, strong thrower in the pocket. And we like to move our guys around."

Diehards Line:Ragone struggled during the little action he saw with the Texans. He completed 20 of 40 passes for 135 yards. He threw one interception, zero touchdown passes and was sacked eight times. Porter, 6-4, 233 pounds, is an undrafted rookie. He was unable to get into a rhythm at Boston College because of injuries.
