Updating a previous report, the NFL Network reports the Houston Texans have signed unrestricted free-agent QB Dan Orlovsky to a three-year deal worth $9.15 million. The contract also included a $2.4 million signing bonus.
The Huddle Take: Orlovsky replaces Sage Rosenfels as the backup to Matt Schaub, who has missed five games each of the past two seasons.

During an interview on Sirius NFL Radio, free-agent WR Mike Furrey said Detroit Lions QB Dan Orlovsky is looking to sign elsewhere for next season. Furrey said, "It's probably already out there anyway but I know Danny's looking. He's a free agent and he's looking [and] ready to go somewhere else. And he's done well enough to deserve a chance to start or at least compete for a starting spot somewhere. I know they've asked him to come back and be the backup. Hopefully he'll get a chance somewhere else but that's what they're doing in Detroit."
The Huddle Take: Hard to know just how much of what Furrey is saying holds water, seeing as he was released by the team. Furrey also added that Daunte Culpepper will be the starter, which would certainly be a reason why Orlovsky is shopping his wares elsewhere.

ESPN.com reports Detroit Lions QB Dan Orlovsky will start the team's Week 17 game, according to head coach Rod Marinelli.
The Huddle Take: One more opportunity for Orlovsky to state his case for a 2009 starting job—in Detroit or elsewhere—before free agency and the draft start the quarterback carousel spinning.

The Detroit News reports Lions QB Dan Orlovsky will likely be the team's starting quarterback in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Huddle Take: The Lions don't have a whole lot of options. Orlovsky is still nursing a thumb injury, Daunte Culpepper injured his shoulder last week, and Drew Stanton has been battling a concussion. Drew Henson is still around as well. Okay, so the Lions don't have a whole lot of good options.

The Detroit Free Press reports Detroit Lions QB Dan Orlovsky (thumb) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 1. He said he would be surprised if he were not ready to play in Week 14.
The Huddle Take: While it is unlikely many are relying on Detroit QBs to aid them this season, it is worth noting that in all likelihood Orlovsky will get the nod when he's healthy over Culpepper. Unless something happens and Culpepper starts throwing the ball more to Lion players than the opponent players, he won't be in the game much once a viable option is back on the field. Orlovsky wasn't doing all that bad, in Lion terms, before going out with injury.
