Ryan Mallett was horribly inaccurate during Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and now we know why.
Mallett played the game despite a pectoral injury that could turn out to be a torn muscle.
According to the Houston Chronicle’s John McClain, Mallett suffered the injury in a Week 11 win over the Browns, which led the quarterback to be listed on the Texans’ injury report with a chest injury.
Mallett suffered the pectoral injury at Cleveland. He was on injury report with a chest injury as probable and didn't miss a down.

Mallett went 21-of-45 for only 189 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in a 22-13 loss. Mallett is undergoing an MRI and will likely miss several weeks. That means Ryan Fitzpatrick will be back in as Houston’s starter for Week 13.
