Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, the team announced on Friday.
Minshew was expected to not play in the Week 9 contest while he is dealing with a thumb injury. Rookie quarterback Jake Luton will start in Minshew's absence.
On Monday, coach Doug Marrone announced Luton was expected to start on Sunday.
"We might as well look," Marrone said. "We might as well see what we have. Go ahead and play him, and let's go."
Luton passed for more than 2,700 yards and threw 28 touchdowns at Oregon State last season.
