Coach Bill O'Brien announced Tuesday that the veteran quarterback has won the team's No. 1 role. He's a guy that earned the job, said O'Brien following Houston's mandatory minicamp session. Anointing Fitzpatrick ends speculation that he would be forced to compete with the likes of Case Keenum, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage come July. The Texans have hinted that one of those passers might be released sooner than later.
