The Facts: Yates hurt his knee without being contacted while scrambling out of the pocket and John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that it is an ACL injury that will bring Yates's season to an end.
Diehards Line:
Brandon Weeden is the only quarterback available for the rest of Sunday. Depending on how Brian Hoyer recovers from his second concussion of the season, Weeden might be in the lineup for the rest of the year. Punter Shane Lechler is the team’s emergency option should Weeden suffer the same fate as Hoyer and Yates in the second half.
