Source: Matt Schaub done for season
Monday, November 14, 2011, 6:19pm
Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub will miss the rest of the season with a Lisfranc injury, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Coach Gary Kubiak said earlier Monday that Schaub was out indefinitely after injuring his foot on a quarterback sneak during Houston's 37-9 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Kubiak said Schaub was slated to visit specialists during the team's bye week.
Matt Leinart is now the Texans' starting quarterback.
Matt Leinart will be stepping into a great situation with Andre Johnson due back after the the BYE, a very good defense, and a great running game. If Leinart used his time as a backup to work on his craft, he could breathe some life back into his NFL career. Arian Foster and Ben Tate should continue to be featured in the Texans offense.
HOU QB Matt Schaub has 'significant' foot injury, Leinart to start

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.
This is a big blow to the Texans. Expect the team to rely even more heavily on Arian Foster and Ben Tate at RB. Leinart will get a boost when Andre Johnson returns, but you have to assume based on Leinart's lack of success, all those on the Houston passing game could take a bit of a hit until Leinart proves otherwise.

Texans Running back Ben Tate suffered a strained groin in the second quarter of the Pittsburgh game. Coach Gary Kubiak said he is day-to-day, but the Texans hope he will be healthy enough to be available Sunday to back up Arian Foster.
"I'm hoping by the end of the week that (Tate) is ready to go," Kubiak said.
