Mojo Rising Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that Texans quarterback Matt Schaub suffered a torn MCL on Sunday against the Vikings, and he’ll miss at least a month. The MCL typically heals itself with rest; surgery is required only when there’s a complete tear. Taking Schaub’s place will be Sage Rosenfels, one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league (notwithstanding that unfortunate John Elway imitation, which cost the Texans a win over the Colts). Over the next four weeks, the Texans host the Ravens in the Ike makeup game, travel to Indy for a rematch with the Colts, head to Cleveland for a game against the Browns, and then return to Houston for a Monday nighter against Jacksonville. Rosenfels completed 21 of 29 passes in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, generating a passer rating of 103.2. His 92.8 rating for the season is actually higher than Schaub’s (91.0).

i_am_the_swammi Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Your title states Schaub is "Out a Month".....could be season-ending, as the club us apparently thinking of freeing up some roster space by placing him on IR. Per Fox Sports via CBS: Matt Schaub, QB HOU FOX Sports reports that Texans QB Matt Schaub suffered a torn MCL Sunday at Minnesota and will be shelved at least one month. The club may opt to place him on season-ending Injured Reserve, depending on the severity of the tear, how quickly he heals and how the team does in his absence. This is the third significant injury Schaub has suffered since becoming the Texans starting quarterback last season. Schaub had 139 yards with an interception and a fumble before leaving at the Vikings, and was replaced by Sage Rosenfels, who gunned for 224 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.

Ziachild007 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hmmmm...... Rosenfels has played OK in the past (other than the Indy meltdown). Schaub was starting to look good though. It will be interesting to see how things play out for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Jinx by proxy .... Well, it's not like his numbers suffered much once Rosenfels was behind center. I own both Daniels and Johnson and am certainly not worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqg6xnKP0AA I couldn't care less if he throws the game away at the end, so long as he gets my boys a c-note and a TD each before he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Great...now I have to hope I can get Rosenfels on the WW tomorrow. I have Warner holding my team up, but I'd like to have a solid backup for my 38 year old starter. Hopefully my winning team status won't screw me out of the backup.

Kalaby Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Anyone want to speculate what we're looking at for Schaub? 2-4 games out and then comes back in time for fantasy playoffs or.... essentially done for the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
