season on the bench but came on to light up the scoreboard soon after, is out with a torn ACL suffered in practice. Tom Savage, the struggling veteran who was the team's initial starter this year, plays there now.

With Savage starting, the Texans have scored one offensive touchdown in each of the last two games. Watson had thrown 19 touchdown passes in his seven games. The Texans lost to the Rams, 33-7, Sunday.

"To be honest, it's on the quarterback when we put up seven points," Savage said after the game. "It's on me."

It's certainly not the first time the Cardinals have dealt with a quarterback injury this season – Carson Palmer is on IR with a broken arm – and as they did with Stanton, the team is prepared to rally around Gabbert as well.

"He's our quarterback, we believe in him," safety Tyrann Mathieu said. "I thought he did a great job in camp. Obviously whenever you play a quarterback that can use their legs, it adds an extra dimension. Hopefully he's ready to go, and we'll be encouraging him and try and give him the confidence he needs to go out and play football."

Tuesday was a "bonus" practice day, and Stanton – who was seen jogging out to the start of practice without a limp – still has the rest of the week to heal. If it is Gabbert who plays, Arians said he thinks the QB is "real comfortable."
