Quarterback Ryan Mallett is out for the season with a torn right pectoral muscle that will require surgery, according to two familiar with the situation. 

The Texans have refused to comment today. Coach Bill O’Brien has his regularly scheduled Monday news conference at 2:30 today. 

Ryan Fitzpatrick, who started the first nine games and compiled a 4-5 record, is expected to start against Tennessee on Sunday. Rookie Tom Savage is the other quarterback on the roster. It’s unclear if the Texans will sign a third quarterback. 

A torn pectoral muscle affects the entire chest and shoulder. 

Mallett was originally injured preparing for his first start at Cleveland, where he played well in the 23-7 victory. Last week, he was participated in practice and was listed as probable on the injury report with a chest injury. 

Mallett wasn’t the same quarterback in Sunday’s 22-13 loss to Cincinnati. He was off target the entire game and finished with 21-of-45 for 189 yards and no touchdowns. He aggravated the injury against the Bengals and suffered one interception to go with a rating of 49.2.
