Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is finally able to work out after missing the last six weeks of the 2011 regular season, the postseason and OTAs after recovering from Lisfranc surgery.Â
Paul Kuharsky of ESPN is now reporting that Schaub has been cleared to practice with the Texans once training camp starts at the end of this month.Â
Schaub tore his meniscus back in Week 10 last season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth fell on his leg.Â
Schaub finished 2011 with a 96.8 quarterback rating while tossing 15 touchdowns compared to only six interceptions and accumulating 2,479 yards.Â
With Schaub being placed on injured reserve, the Texans manged to rally off three straight wins as they clinched the AFC South divisional crown and an appearance in the playoffsâ€"all while being quarterbacked by third-string rookie T.J. Yates.Â
Houston currently stands as one of the favorites to win the AFC in 2012, and Schaub being cleared to practice at the start of training camp is definitely good news for Houston's offense, which will be able to be in sync on day one.Â
