"Quarterback Matt Schaub suffered what the Texans are calling "a significant foot injury" that actually is an injury to the Lisfranc joint in his right foot.

Schaub will be lost for the season if he undergoes surgery, but he's seeking a second opinion next week from foot specialists in Indianapolis and Charlotte, N.C., who he hopes will give him a different evaluation that might allow him to return before the season ends.

"All we know right now is that he's going to miss some time," coach Gary Kubiak said today."
