SCHAUB OUT A MONTH
Posted by Mike Florio on November 3, 2008, 1:38 p.m.
Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that Texans quarterback Matt Schaub suffered a torn MCL on Sunday against the Vikings, and hell miss at least a month.
The MCL typically heals itself with rest; surgery is required only when theres a complete tear.
Taking Schaubs 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 Sundays loss to the Vikings, generating a passer rating of 103.2. His 92.8 rating for the season is actually higher than Schaubs (91.0).
