Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
HOUSTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub will miss the rest of the season with an injured foot, the team announced Wednesday.
Schaub was placed on the injured reserve list after a visit to a specialist confirmed the signal-caller's injury will require surgery on his right foot.
The procedure will be performed next week, the team said.
Schaub sustained the injury in the Texans' last game, a 37-9 win over Tampa Bay Nov. 13, when his foot was caught in a pile during a quarterback sneak.
He tossed for 2,479 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions for the 7-3 Texas this season and appeared to be well on the way to his third straight 4,000-yard season.
"I'm really disappointed, especially for Matt because he was having a great year, probably his best year," Texans owner Bob McNair said. "He's worked so hard with our team and been such a great leader."
Matt Leinart will take over behind center for the AFC South leaders.
