Matt Schaub took a lot of punishment from the Jets in Week One, and from the media after.
One positive from his outing was that he played through pain and finished the game. Schaub hasn’t been durable as a starter, but Texans coach Gary Kubiak says his quarterback is finally recovered from a preseason ankle injury.
“He’s moving around real good this week,” Kubiak said. “I don’t see any limitations on him going into this game. He’s obviously better than he was last week.”
Houston heads to Tennessee, where the Titans have overwhelmed Houston physically in their last two trips there. In 2007, the Titans ended Schaub’s season by dislocating his shoulder.
Tennessee should some vulnerability through the air against Pittsburgh, but it will take perhaps the best road effort of the Kubiak era to avoid another slow start to Houston’s season.
