Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Houston Texans interim head coach Wade Phillips confirmed Monday that starting quarterback Case Keenum sustained a sprained right thumb during Sundays 25-3 loss in Indianapolis. The right-handed Keenum underwent an MRI Monday to determine the significance of the injury. "Well see what they say from the MRI and see what the doctors say and see what hes able to do," Phillips said when asked of Keenums status for Week 16. "Its certainly a concern on the quarterback when its (his) right hand, thumb. But well just have to wait and see what he can do on Wednesday in practice." The 25-year-old signal-caller completed 18-of-34 passes for 168 yards with two interceptions against the Colts, who handed Houston its 12th straight setback. The Texans, who fired head coach Gary Kubiak last week, will take on Denver Sunday before wrapping up their season at Tennessee on Dec. 29. SEATTLE -- Lamar Neagle scored off of a free kick by Marc Burch midway through the first half to lead the surging Seattle Sounders to their sixth win in seven matches, 1-0 over Chivas USA on Wednesday night. The Sounders (13-8-4) won their third straight and climbed into a tie with Los Angeles for second place in the Western Conference. Seattle is five points behind league-leading Real Salt Lake, with three games in hand. "Ive had chances here and there, even playing left back," said Neagle, whose goal was his sixth of the season and first since July 28. "Its one of those things that has been coming. Even in training, Ive been trying to work on finishing as much as possible. "When it came down to it, we got one, and thats all we needed with the shutouts weve been getting." It was the Sounders fourth straight goal in the last four games scored off of a free kick. "We felt it was important for Lamar to do well," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "We also felt weve been very good in set pieces and free kicks lately. We said thats something we want to ttry to take advantage of, and we did again.ddddddddddddquot; Chivas (5-15-7) had its road winless streak extended to 12 (0-9-3). "We almost scored at the end, but unfortunately, the referee finished the game," Chivas USA coach Jose Luis Real said. "Before the game, we talked about (Seattles scoring on set pieces), but it wasnt enough. In the first half, Seattle was better. But in the second half, Chivas, in my opinion, was better." A hard foul on Seattle defender DeAndre Yedlin gave the Sounders a free kick 23 yards up from the goal line on the right side. Burch drove the ball into the penalty area and Neagle, after settling it at the top right corner of the box, turned and drilled a right-footed shot into the far side of the net early in the 24th minute. Sounders goalkeeper Michael Gspurning picked up his third straight shutout and ninth of the year. The Sounders were without Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson, who are both with the U.S. national team for World Cup qualifying games Friday at Costa Rica and next Tuesday against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
