Report: Ryan Fitzpatrick ruled out for season

Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been ruled out for the season with a broken leg, according to reports.

The incident occurred in the second quarter of his side's match against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium as he attempted to scramble for a first down.

Fitzpatrick was carted off the field and fitted with an air cast due to the severity of his injury, which will rule him out for the rest of the campaign, according to several media outlets.

Rookie quarterback Tom Savage took over the starting duties for the rest of the game, as the Texans fell to a narrow defeat.
