"Texans quarterback Matt Leinart is out for the season with a broken left collarbone — the same injury he suffered in 2007, his second season at Arizona — according to people familiar with the injury.

Rookie T.J. Yates, a fifth-round pick from North Carolina, will start the rest of the season. And his first start is against Atlanta. He's from suburban Atlanta.

The Texans have to find out if Kellen Clemens can be the backup quarterback. They'll have to sign a third quarterback. Last week, when Matt Schaub was placed on injured reserve, the Texans worked out Clemens, Brodie Croyle, Jeff Garcia, Trent Edwards and Chase Clement."
