Arian Foster suffered a groin injury Monday says ESPN.com. That's all that is being reported so far.
Arian Foster goes down in first padded practice
- Thread starter mudloggerone
- Start date
He came into camp the healthiest he's been in three years. Oh that bites! Alfred Blue, where are you?
The other running backs on Houston's roster are Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes, seventh-round pick Kenny Hilliard and former Eagle Chris Polk.

So in other words, there's not much talent behind Foster.
This is a job for "Ray Rice?" Huh?
Houston has a bye week nine so if placed on the IR/Return list he will not be eligible until week 10.
Surgery for Fragile Foster.
Blue is injured as well.
Who calls Sjax first..Dallas or Houston?

Blue only had cramps from taking all of the first team reps.
Just what I heard on Radio on the way to work. Glad its not an actual injury

How is Ray Rice not getting a call??

I put Junior Gallette right there with them. Have you seen the video? He hits a woman as hard as he can with a belt twice and he just got signed by the redskins.
No deal for PT who refused to sign for the league minimum.
The word is that Houston considers themselves to be a bit more "polished" than other clubs in the league and the ownership tries hard in "most" instances not to sign a player with character "issues." Locals do not think that Ray will receive a call. Personally I think they should turn a blind eye and hire the dude. He's served enough time away for his crime IMO.

Foster's time away has shortened to as little as six weeks which may allow Houston to leave him on active roster since an IR/Return decision is still a month away.

IMO, the only way, as an NFL club, you could consider taking what would be a certain PR hit by signing Rice is if you believed he was the guy that helped put your team into a contention discussion. For Houston, he simply doesn't do that. They are the second best team in their division, but the gap from them to Indy is wide, and they aren't exactly trendy picks for WC discussion. Rice wouldn't be a significant enough upgrade over the youth they have on roster to warrant taking the abuse from DV groups campaigning Reliant Stadium all year. I think you ride out Foster's injury, get good reps with your young backs, see if any break out, and reassess when Foster returns around the 2nd half.
