According to reports by the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Texans will keep Coach Gary Kubiak by giving him a contract extension next week. And the Texans believe keeping Kubiak with them is necessary to get chance into postseason in following season.
Kubiak has spent four years with the players in Texans jerseys and there is only one year left in his five-year contract with the team. As Bob McNair doesn’t want the coach going into the season with lame-duck status, he is reportedly to sign a contract extension with Kubiak, keeping him through at least the 2013 season.
Under Kubiak’s coaching, the Texans finished the 2009 season with nine wins and seven losses along with a chance to make the playoffs. And Kubiak is the first coach who has even led the Texans to so close ever to making the postseason.

QB Schaub will earn $10 million more for the next three years
The Houston Texans think their quarterback Matt Schaub has done good enough job to earn more money and the team plans to exercise an option in Schaub’s contract that will give him a $10 million bonus and extend his contract for the next three years.
Wearing the Atlanta Falcons jersey during his first three seasons Schaub signed a six-year contract three seasons ago with the Texans, who had until March to decide if they wanted to exercise the option to keep him in Houston. According to Texans owner Bob McNair, the team plans to do that because Schaub has given good performance this year.
The good performance includes leading the league in yards passing with a franchise-best 4,770 yards and leading the Texans to its first winning record with a victory over New England Patriots on Sunday, although they still lost the chance to enter playoffs with New York Jets’ 37-0 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Torn knee ligament ended TE Daniels’ season
Owen Daniels will not play the remaining season for the Houston Texans. Instead, he will have a surgery to repair his torn knee ligament and need a lot of time to rehabilitate.
Daniels injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on Houston’s second possession in Sunday’s win over the Buffalo Bills when he caught his foot in the turf. According to Coach Gary Kubiak, the defensive end will have surgery in two weeks after swelling in the knee has gone down.
Losing Daniels is a big blow to the team, as Kubiak said. Indeed, the fourth-year player in Texans jersey has 40 receptions for 519 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns this season. I doubt if Joel Dreessen would be able to match him as replacement in this Sunday’s game against the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts.
But with Daniels’ leaving, the Texans have few choices. If not Dreessen, they only have rookie Anthony Hill to alternate. The team obviously would not choose Hill as he has missed all games this season with flu issue. So, actually, Dreessen was the only choice unless the Texans find options out of the team.

Texans had no more swine flu cases after TE Hill
By this weekend, three Houston Texans was ill, with safety Eugene Wilson suffering from flu-like symptoms. But according to team doctor Jim Muntz, none of the three was confirmed to have swine flu, and running back Chris Brown and linebacker Xavier Adibi were just having gastrointestinal problems.
The doctor said he isn’t sure Wilson “had the same syndrome” as Anthony Hill, who had the NFL’s first confirmed case of swine flu last week. Wilson had body aches, but no fever and was sent home to protect the team. Muntz said Wilson phoned him Sunday night and felt better.
Hill is better and should be allowed to return to practice this week. Muntz said players can return to practice if they haven’t had a fever for 48 hours. And in case of the flu, they are “fairly generous” with prescribing Tamiflu to anyone who complains of flu-like symptoms. Vaccines for the swine flu aren’t expected to be available until later this month and even then there will be a very limited number of doses.
