But we're bringing him in for a tryout," McKenzie said.

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:34:34 -0700 The Houston Texans released QB Matt Leinart Monday, March 12.
Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:16:06 -0800 Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said QBs Matt Leinart and T.J. Yates will compete for the No. 2 quarterback job during training camp.

Schaub will be wearing a walking boot this week and is scheduled to meet with a foot specialist in the next week. QB Matt Leinart will start in Week 12 in place of Schaub. Fantasy Tip: Leinart is a backup option if you're desperate or in an extremely deep league, but only because of the quality of the options surrounding him in the offense. Expect Houston to rely more on the running game coming out of their bye week with rushers Arian Foster and Ben Tate. Derrick Ward won't see much work as the third fiddle, thus limiting his fantasy worth. Andre Johnson (hamstring) and Owen Daniels will see a drop in value with Leinart targeting them, but the return of Johnson and Leinart under center is likely to hurt Jacoby Jones the most.
Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:39:58 -0700 Houston Texans OG Mike Brisiel (shin), OT Duane Brown (knee), LB Brian Cushing (elbow), CB Johnathan Joseph (shoulder), QB Matt Leinart (thumb), S Danieal Manning (leg), LB DeMeco Ryans (hamstring) and LB Darryl Sharpton (back, groin) are listed as probable for Week 7.

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:02:07 -0700 The Seattle Seahawks are monitoring the market for Philadelphia Eagles QB Kevin Kolb. It appears more and more likely the Seahawks will lose unrestricted free-agent QB Matt Hasselbeck, so the Seahawks will be in the market for Kolb but have concerns about giving up a first-round pick for him.
