Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub will miss the rest of the season with a Lisfranc injury, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Coach Gary Kubiak said earlier Monday that Schaub was injured on a quarterback sneak coming out of the end zone late in the second quarter of Houston's 37-9 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Schaub stayed in the game, but threw only three passes.

Kubiak said the team was bringing in a specialist from Indianapolis to evaluate Schaub, and the quarterback would fly to Charlotte, N.C., later this week to undergo further examination.

Joby Branion, Schaub's agent, did not immediately return a phone message or e-mail from The Associated Press.

The Texans (7-3) have won four in a row and share the AFC's best record with Pittsburgh heading into their bye week. Kubiak said sixth-year veteran Matt Leinart will start at Jacksonville on Nov. 27.

"It's just something we'll have to deal with," star receiver Andre Johnson said Monday night. "Hopefully, Matt won't miss the whole season. We're not sure exactly what it is, but we do know he'll have to miss some time. We're just going to rally around Matt Leinart, and I think he'll go out and do a great job."

Johnson has missed six games with a right hamstring injury, but expects to return for the Jacksonville game. He was on the sideline Sunday and said Schaub was "limping a little bit," but said he was OK.

"To come in and here that today," Johnson said, "it was kind of like, 'Wow.' Now you're hearing rumors that it's possible he could miss the rest of the season and things like that. So it's kind of like, where did all of that come from?"
