The Texans will continue to start Case Keenum at quarterback. Owner Bob McNair made that pronouncement Friday after announcing the firing of coach Gary Kubiak.
McNair said that Keenum, who was replaced by Matt Schaub during the Thursday night loss to Jacksonville, needed to be further evaluated.
"I think the jury is still out, and he's got a lot of ability, and he's shown some flashes of brilliance, and he's shown some rookie mistakes," McNair said. "We've got to see if he can improve or eliminate those mistakes."
Keenum has struggled in the last four games after throwing seven touchdowns and no interceptions in his first three starts.
