Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Mallett suffered a right pectoral injury during Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to the Houston Chronicle's John McClain.
Mallett will undergo an MRI Monday and could be out for several weeks if the scan reveals a tear in his pectoral.
The Texans' quarterback went 21-of-45 for 189 yards and an interception in a losing effort Sunday.
Mallett played hurt through the game, which explains why he was so off target compared to the win at Cleveland.

If Mallett can't play, Ryan Fitzpatrick will be re-inserted into the starting lineup. Fitzpatrick completed 61.8 percent of his passes for 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions prior to being benched.
