Texans quarterback expected out Thursday

HOUSTON, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Houston quarterback Matt Schaub is expected to miss his second straight game Thursday when the Texans play host to the Denver Broncos.

Schaub missed this past Sunday's 28-14 win against Tampa Bay because of a left shoulder injury he suffered Dec. 2 at Tennessee.

"I don't see anything changing right now," Texans Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday. "We're going to get a second opinion on Matt's shoulder here in the next 24 hours. I'm not quite exactly sure where we are sending him for that. I'll have that information for you all tomorrow. I don't think anything has changed. I don't think he'll be available."

Because of Schaub's injury, the Texans started Sage Rosenfels at quarterback this past Sunday. Rosenfels hit 27 of 36 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns, but lost two fumbles.
