Texans QB Schaub has MRI on shoulder

Dec 4, 2007 - 1:09 AM NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) - Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on Monday underwent an MRI exam on his dislocated left shoulder.

Coach Gary Kubiak said Schaub's arm was in a sling Monday and added that it is too early to determine if the injury will end Schaub's season.

"All I can tell you guys right now is they're still evaluating," Kubiak said. "It sure looks like he's going to miss some time. Whether we're talking about the next four weeks or not, I don't think we're at that stage. I think it's very hopeful that he does come back and play some more this year, but it's going to be day-to-day and it's not very good today."

Schaub was hurt with 3:11 to play in the first quarter of Sunday's game when he was sacked by Tennessee Titans defensive end Antwan Odom.

After kneeling on the ground for several minutes, Schaub was taken to the locker room.

Kubiak wouldn't rule out Schaub for this weekend's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but he offered little hope his quarterback can play.

"I don't really want to say that today," he said. "I just know that if we went to play today, there's no chance. So I would say it's not good at this point and hopefully that changes, but it doesn't look good right now."

Sage Rosenfels replaced Schaub and finished 17-of-30 for 185 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

The Texans also lost guard Fred Weary (fractured right tibia) and center Chris White (MCL in left knee). Kubiak said both will be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
