Houston, TX (Sportsbooks) - Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who has missed the last four contests due to a knee injury, is expected to return as the starter for Sunday's game at Green Bay. Schaub has been out since injuring the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in a 28-21 loss at Minnesota on November 2. "Well, I think if everything goes okay this week then expectations are that he goes back into his role as our starter," said Texans coach Gary Kubiak. "But let's wait and see how he works this week. He did come in today and work out and that went good. Obviously, we'll pick his reps up on Wednesday but all indications are that he should be fine." Sage Rosenfels, who replaced Schaub in the second half of that Vikings game, has started the last four games. That includes a 30-17 win over Jacksonville on Monday night. Schaub has completed 67.8 percent of his passes this season for 1,762 yards with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions, for a quarterback rating of 91.0. |
