“I will never quit as the head coach of the Houston Texans, ever,” O’Brien said, per Aaron Wilson.

“I will never resign as head coach of the Houston Texans. I didn’t even read the story, was told about it a little bit,” O’Brien said. “Best thing to do would be to ask the person who wrote it where they get their info.”

• O’Brien confirmed that there’s a chance QB Tom Savage will not play again this season. (Mark Berman)
