Matt Leinart
QB FA
Matt Leinart completed 8-of-14 passes for 78 yards, one touchdown, and an interception in the Texans' preseason opener Monday night.
We wanted to see the reportedly rejuvenated Leinart after numerous glowing stories coming out of Texans camp, and he looked pretty good. The pick was tipped at the line, and Leinart didn't seem to be moving around as deliberately and lackadaisically as he historically has. He's never going to be overly impressive in terms of physical skills, but could be a high-end QB2 with spot-starter potential in the Texans' offense if Matt Schaub went down.
