Source: Matt Schaub out for year

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 injured on a quarterback sneak coming out of the end zone late in the second quarter of Houston's 37-9 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Schaub stayed in the game, but threw only three passes.

Kubiak said the team was bringing in a specialist from Indianapolis to evaluate Schaub, and the quarterback would fly to Charlotte, N.C., later this week to undergo further examination.

Joby Branion, Schaub's agent, did not immediately return a phone message.

The Texans (7-3) have won four in a row and share the AFC's best record with Pittsburgh heading into their bye week. Kubiak said sixth-year veteran Matt Leinart will start at Jacksonville on Nov. 27.

Not to my fantasy team. Good thing Eli has been putting up better numbers the past few week. Too bad it wasn't Matt Ryan.

With the South being down so bad this year, it was definitely the Texans year to take the division. It will be interesting to see if they can hang on now...

I wouldn't put much faith in Leinart....but then again, they're going in to their bye week so he should get some good reps with the 1s, plus they're expecting Andre Johnson to be back after that as well.

@ Jacksonville
Atlanta
@ Cincinnati
Carolina
@ Indy
Tennessee

Should be interesting.....

You know what I find funny... is I think outside of houston... there are maybe 10 other people in this state who care about the Texans... Hell I know more Saints fans here in Texas than Texans fans... Its amazing... Jerra up to the north really has this state in love with his team.
