Texans’ Matt Schaub says he’s 100%

Matt Schaub suffered a broken foot week 11 last year, effectively killing the then 7-3 Texans’ Super Bowl chances, which were just starting to look promising. TJ Yates played admirably and probably better than anyone would have expected, but the Texans still lost in the AFC Semis to the Baltimore Ravens. Now 7 months removed from the injury, Schaub says he’s 100%. He won’t participate in the Texans’ minicamp next week, for precautionary reasons, but he should be a full go for Training Camp.

The Texans have lost a lot this offseason, including 2 starters on the offensive line, Mike Brisiel and Eric Winston, their starting middle linebacker, DeMeco Ryans, their best pass rusher Mario Williams, Joel Dreesseen, who played significant snaps at tight end, and Jason Allen, who played significant snaps at cornerback. However, they still have a lot of talent and made it to the NFL’s final 8 last year without Schaub and with Andre Johnson missing significant time. In a weak AFC, they could end up with a 1st round bye if everything goes right.
