Ryan Fitzpatrick was injured on a scramble and was carted off the field with a boot on his left leg in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Colts. His leg is broken, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, per a team source. His season is over.
Rookie Tom Savage entered the game and completed his first NFL pass to DeAndre Hopkins after avoiding the pressure. On his second play, he was sacked after miscommunication. Savage botched a handoff to Arian Foster on the ensuing drive, resulting in a turnover. He finished 10 of 19 passing for 127 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
On the second-to-last play of the game, Savage took a hit to his lower leg. Rapoport later add, per a team source, that the QB will have an MRI on Monday.
The fourth-round pick would take over a Texans offense that has already lost Ryan Mallett this season.
