Grossman Out 4-5 Weeks

 

      HOUSTON (AP) - Houston's Rex Grossman is expected to miss about

a month with a hamstring injury and the Texans are looking to sign

another quarterback to fill in until he's healthy.

 

      Grossman, Houston's third quarterback and the former Bears

starter, was injured in Saturday's win over the Chiefs and coach

Gary Kubiak says he doesn't feel comfortable finishing the

preseason with only Matt Schaub and backup Dan Orlovsky.

 

      Kubiak says the Texans could bring back Alex Brink, who was with

the team last season.

 

      Also injured Saturday were safety Troy Nolan, a rookie

seventh-round pick, who will have surgery to repair a broken hand

on Monday and fullback Boomer Grigsby who is expected to be out six

weeks with a high ankle sprain.
