Could be sidelined for several weeks. Good thing it's the Rams that they're facing otherwise they're pretty much screwed. Maybe it'll be a good thing in the long run to see if Schaub builds chemistry with Graham.

OD just confirmed on 790 no MRIs were done. He said it's just a really bad Charlie horse in his leg like Dre had a few weeks ago.

Sucks but at the same time, hopefully the ship will be right by the time he returns and he will be healthy to close out the regular season and maybe the post season. That or we spare his body further damage so that the next Texans QB will have a legit weapon at TE because Schaub/Kubiak seemed determined to run OD and Andre Johnson into the ground with the passes they were sending their way. It isn't spreading the ball if 85% of your passes are targeting one of two receivers not including screens to your running backs.
