WMH · #1 11-14-2011, 03:37 PM

Uh Oh.....

@TexansVoice: Kubiak: Matt Schaub has a significant foot injury that is being evaluated currently....will see specialists...will miss some time

@TexansVoice: Matt Leinart will start against Jacksonville

@NickScurfield: Kubiak on Schaub: "Gonna miss some time. We're going to do everything we can to get it evaluated correctly and see if we can get him back."

@evansilva: ESPN's Adam Schefter on #Texans QB Matt Schaub: "Earlier this morning, I was told that he has a Lisfranc injury."

Don't know the severity of the injury but it doesn't look good either way. If he needs surgery then he's done for the season. If he doesn't need surgery then we'll be lucky to get him for the playoffs. Again, don't know the severity of the injury but the fact that he played throughout the game still leaves me with some optimism.

Bum...Mer. Can we get up on Matt Leinart in the next two weeks?

Oy, 610 reporting more of the same from a Kubes press conference...

Wouldn't you know it?

Realistically, it's next-man-up and Leinart's the man.... Only thing I see different will be the passing game - might be a little more dinkier and dunkier... My inner-optimist says this is not the end of the world.... Leinart is a quality backup, IMO....

From the Chron:

Quote:

All the good news over the Texans’ 7-3 start turned bad today when they found out quarterback Matt Schaub has suffered a “significant foot injury,” according to coach Gary Kubiak.

Kubiak said Schaub will wear a boot on his ankle and then travel around the country next week seeing specialists in Indianapolis and Charlotte to determine whether he can play again this season.

Kubiak said Matt Leinart will start at Jacksonville when the Texans return from their open date.

Schaub was injured on a quarterback sneak in the second quarter during Sunday’s 37-9 victory at Tampa Bay.

He suffered what was believed to be a sprained ankle and played the rest of the game. He was barely limping in the dressing room after the game.

Schaub hasn’t missed a start since the 2008 season. He started every game the last two years and through eight games this season.

We won't win important games with leinhart. This is disaster.

WMH · #8 11-14-2011, 05:04 PM

And then there's this.....

@adamschefter: Filed to ESPN: Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is out for the season with a lis franc injury. Matt Leinart from here on in.

ESPN crawl Breaking News: Matt Schaub out for season per Adam Schefter.

Gulp. Well, if Leinart's going to re-establish himself as a potential NFL starter now's his chance. Kubiak supposedly really wanted him back this summer, so we'll see.

It'll be interesting to see if they bring in a veteran to compete with Yates for the #2 spot, but the picking are pretty slim. Patrick Ramsey, who they had some interest in a few years ago? Craig Nall?

Leinart will do enough for our offense to limp into the playoffs. Then we'll get our butts handed to us in the first round by Baltimore or the Jets.... We're done

Nconroe · #12 11-14-2011, 06:15 PM

Obviously not good news. Kubiak on 610 would not confirm lizfranc injury or out for season. But Scgaub would be seeing specialists this next wk. And Leinart will start against Jacksonville.

If it is lizfranc this is a mid foot fracture. Severity depends on if bone shifted.

I had this in HS , wore a cast with heel and walked on it for 4 weeks then rehabbed two weeks so must have been a minor hairline fracturre.

I think Leinart can do ok, we will see soon enough.

We do have a good defense and good ground game and Andre coming back so trying to stay positive.

If we can play well enough to win the division with our backup QB and get to the playoffs, then the season is a success and its the greatest year ever for the franchise. So if we can go .500 in the last 6 games and end up with 10 wins the division is ours, but don't think that will be easy but it is still doable with Lienert.
No you are right, the hope to end up with something like a 12-4 record and get a bye and eventually a shot at the big game in Indy in February is surely gone with Schaubs injury, but crap happens and there's nothing we can do about it.

That bum Haynesworth always wanted to hurt Schaub. Now he’s got his wish.
