Houstontexans.com is reporting that QB Matt Schaub could miss up to four weeks with an MCL Injury.

Quarterback Matt Schaub suffered an injury to his medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his left knee on Sunday at Minnesota. It appears he will miss an extended period of time, including this week's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

In the meantime, Sage Rosenfels will be the Texans' starting signal-caller.

"I know it's going to keep (Matt) out at least a couple weeks," coach Gary Kubiak said. "It could possibly be up to four.

"Sage is the guy going into this week’s game. We’ll have to make a decision after that."

Schaub, who is walking on crutches after undergoing an MRI Monday, injured his knee when Vikings defensive end Jared Allen hit the quarterback low on the first series of Minnesota's 28-21 victory at the Metrodome. Schaub played through the injury in the first half, despite getting sacked three times.
Denverbroncos.com is reporting that RB Michael Pittman and Andre Hall have been placed on Injured Reserve.
The Broncos announced on Monday that two running backs will be placed on IR. Andre Hall (left hand) and Michael Pittman (neck) were both placed on the reserve/injured list. Both players were injured during Denver’s game against Miami on Sunday.

Pittman has been the starter at running back for the past three games, and his 320 yards on 76 carries leads the team. He has also caught 10 passes for 112 yards. He has been into the endzone four times on the ground. Pittman is an 11-year pro who has seen time in all eight games this season.

Hall, who averaged 4.9 yards per carry in 2007, has rushed 35 times for 144 yards this season. He has also caught three passes for 25 yards and returned 21 kickoffs for an average of 22.3 yards per return. In his second year with the Broncos, Hall has seen time in all eight games this season.

Huge loss for both teams.
Denver's running game is already bad enough, just got worse.

Broncos are ranked I think 19th in the league in Rushing Yards Per Game (About 105 I believe), so this certainly is a huge loss. Plus Young's been stricken with injury already this year, their going to have to go to the Free Agency I would assume to fill their spots.

As for Schaub, this team has had some tough matchups but has played very well, especially in the Passing game. I was starting to like Schaub, kinda becoming a fan of him seeing as he was turning that offense completely around, but now things are a whole lot different.

3 games in a row, Andre Johnson had 100+yards. The game where Schaub left, Johnson DID NOT Have 100 yards. It was bound to happen, but i think Johnson wont see as many catches.
