Henne is coming off the finest performance of his NFL career, throwing for four touchdowns and 354 yards in Sunday’s 43-47 overtime loss to the Houston Texans. While Henne may not have gotten the win, his performance against the heavily-favored Texans appears to have won him a supporter in Mularkey.

Henne did not start the Texans game, but came on early after incumbent starter Blaine Gabbert bruised his right elbow. A start on Sunday would be Henne’s first for over a year, with the last one coming as a member of his former team the Miami Dolphins.
