APThere’s no definitive diagnosis yet, but the Texans are bracing for the worst.
A game after the Texans lost quarterback Matt Schaub for the year with a foot injury, a source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that the Texans fear that Leinart may have a broken collarbone.
Leinart suffered a broken collarbone in 2007, ending his season after several games in which the Cardinals would yank Leinart for Kurt Warner whenever the team fell behind by seven of more points, with Leinart then being re-inserted after Warner pulled the Cardinals even again.
T.J. Yates has taken over for Leinart. T.J. Yates could have the job for a while.

1…2…3…Favre
Texans season *flush sound*
This team is jinxed, what a shame
A shame, he was playing well.
4…5…6… Garrard
7…8…9…Jeff Garcia.
Yet anither USC QB who is a bust!
Somebody call Jeff Garcia or Brett Favre.
It just wasn’t in the cards for Leinart.
Fear? It’s not like they just lost Drew Brees or anything.
Seriously – do you think it will be all that hard to IR him and sign someone off the street/other team’s practice squad at the same or just slightly below the level of play Leinart provided?
So… once again why do they fear leinart will be out for the season?
Not that Leinart was lighting it up anyway. Its unfortunate for the Texans, they will make the playoffs but it will be one and done.
10….11….12…Bobby Hoying
What’s the difference between Leinart and Yates? Go ahead i’ll wait.
@clawledge;
I would sign Tim Tebow’s little brother before I would even think about Farve! He’s the last guy any team wants at this point.
jeff george.
13….14….15 ……. Jake “the snake” Delhome.
Snakebit….
“So… once again why do they fear leinart will be out for the season?”
They were just being polite.
16…17….18……Vinnie Testeverde.
19….20…..21…..Alex Brink
How about Daunte Culpepper as back-up? He was playing football last year in UFL and looked good… running, strong arm.
Would love to see Testeverde out there!
Kyle Orton is on the phone with his agent, See, I told you we should have waited a week. Now get on the phone and see if you can talk KC into releasing me.
22…23…24… Bart starr
*lady*
Kyle Orton was put on waivers and had no say where he went. Garrard had surgery and is not an option.

JaMarcus Russell
I WANT FARVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would Sell TICKETS LOLOLLOLOLOLOl
A team that is 8-3 and a clear shot for the playoffs, especially for a franchise that has never been there. I know most wish not to here the name, but I think if there ever was a right situation at the right time with both your qb’s done for the season, they have to do it. Go get number 4 for the sake of your fans!
Unreal,…hurt in his first game action of the year. Yates showed why he is a 3rd string QB. Houston, we have a problem…they better call somebody who can throw.
Sad…
25…26…27…..Jamarcus Russell
STOP!!!!! PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!!!!!
28…29…30… Danny Wuerffel
31…32…33… Kordell Stewart
28 29 30..Case keenum!!
Leinart was not meant to play in the NFL. Now he had screwed up the Texans, lol. Guess he sold his soul sometime in college and the devil collected the second he was drafted.
Hope he heals fast.
Go Bills!!
So who’s upper body contains more glass Stafford or Leinart?
Leinart we hardly knew thee….
28…29…30…Anthony Calvillo
31 32 33 Daunte Culpepper (gets roll on)
One more reason to move the trade deadline to the end of the regular season.
@thingamajig: push
Kellen Clemens will step in and lead the Texans to the Super Bowl.
Absurdly awful bad luck. The Texans were looking good.
They can still get it done. It’s time to get that quality vet. Remember what the Ravens were able to accomplish with Trent Dilfer.
Maybe KC will release Kyle Orton so he can play for Houston
Woooooooow down to the third string guy who doesnt get any first team reps in practice ,hes the scout team guy but they have a great running game and i believe kellen clemens
T.J. Rubley is out there somewhere…
Maybe the New York Giants will release David Carr from his contract to give him a shot at the Texans job.
well there goes leinarts career but if you have to garrard is the answer if so leinart is hurt for season
