Texans QB Schaub will play despite shoulder injury

The Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub may feel lucky that the shoulder he dislocated last Sunday was just a non-throwing shoulder. With the throwing shoulder still working, he is expected by the team to play this Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks still.

Schaub was injured on the first play of Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he still returned to field in the second quarter and finished the game. Since he could play when freshly injured, the Texans Coach Gary Kubiak has good reason to believe that the quarterback can also play after one week of preparation. So it is very likely the team will have Schaub play in his Texans jersey this Sunday.

Even if Schaub could play, the Texans still have concerns about injury. Running back Steve Slaton is struggling with a right shoulder and neck problem that has caused numbness in his thumb and to miss last Sunday’s game. His playing status will be known after his condition being evaluated by a specialist on Tuesday.
