Kuharsky: Schaub Joins Texans' Wounded
Matt Schaub's injury is just the latest test for Houston in a season full of setbacks and sidesteps, writes Paul Kuharsky. Kubiak said sixth-year veteran Matt Leinart will start at Jacksonville on Nov. 27.
"Hopefully, Matt won't miss the whole season. Johnson has missed six games with a right hamstring injury, but expects to return for the Jacksonville game. Houston rank eighth in total offense this season (396.2 yards per game).
Matt Leinart will take over as Texans starting QB.
Leinart guided Southern Cal to national championship games after the 2004 and `05 seasons, and went 37-2 as a starter in college.
"It's a great opportunity. Kubiak has been increasing Leinart's repetitions in practice, and he's confident Leinart is ready.
"He's played in big football games in this league, he's played in big football games in college," Kubiak said. Matt doesn't have to go win a game, the team has to go win a game. ”-- Texans QB Matt Leinart
on opportunity to start again
Schaub, acquired in a trade with Atlanta in March 2007, has started every game for Houston since the start of the 2009 season. Schaub joins the growing list of Houston stars sidelined with injuries this season.
The Texans have the NFL's No. 1 defense (269.7 yards per game) and the third-best rushing offense (158.1 yards per game), with Foster and Tate both ranking among the top 10.
