Texans RB Arian Foster Injures Groin May Require Surgery

[HtownColt]

@taniaganguli: Arian Foster suffered a groin injury last night at the #Texans first fully padded practice, sources say.

@JaysonBraddock: Arian Foster's groin injury is serious in nature. Source said it should require surgery & may be candidate for IR w/ designation for return.

[Everyone]

Man, gotta feel for the guy.

[That Guy]

Proof that karma DOES NOT exist.  This is one of the nicest and most humble players in the game these days, but he can't stay on the field!

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Man the Texans just cannot catch a break.

[Restored]

Tough luck for a class act.

Or a pass.....

Hard to catch an uncatchable pass

Good grief. Injury bug striking early this year. This really blows.

This is an annual thing for Colts fans....we feel your pain

Thanks. Hopefully there aren't anymore devastating injuries for either of us for the rest of the season. Hard to expect, but we can hope at least.

[Nadine]

I hate these training camp injuries.  Sorry!

2 words that should never go together: Groin surgery. Every guy on the forum just winced & briefly recoiled backward for a second.

 

Ouch! My condolences Arian. I wouldn't wish that on any athlete even a Cowboy either.

[BullsColtsFan1]

Foster is one of my favorite non Colt running backs.  I enjoy watching him play when he's not playing the Colts.  Hopefully the injury isn't as bad as what everyone is saying.

Yeah.....the Texans are the only team that suffers injuries.

[pgt_rob]

Damn, what a shame... Injuries are the worst part of football.

Sorry Vance & QuizBoy. I didn't mean to laugh there, but BHC's humor was priceless there. BHC is good at what I call sarcasm grenades. 

 

Translation: 1 forum member makes an innocent statement & BHC swoops in to drop a comic gem. Nice work.

who is the primary backup?

[Qwiz]

who is the primary backup?

A second year guy named Alfred Blue. He was carted off the field yesterday, but that was due to leg cramps. He can fill in I think, and he's good in the passing game, but I worry about the depth behind him.

He's a pretty good RB from what I saw. Pretty quick too.

I should have remembered that. I had him stashed on my bench in fantasy last year... He was effective when he played

Yep, he and Jeremy Hill were a good duo at LSU. I like what he brings to the table too, but the guy is no Arian Foster. I'm not glad about the injury of course, but it's good that it happened early in camp so Blue can get those number one back reps.

Yeah he and Foster have completely different styles too. I hope he can handle the workload that Arian does over the course of a season.

depending how long he is out, there are some good rbs at home waiting by there phones. Ahmad Bradshaw being one of them

[Nobody]

He may be out for the year. The dude had such a flash in the pan prime. I really like him as a person though, despite my dislike for Houston

[Nobody]

If Foster is out for the year the Texans will have a bunch of career backups who have looked okay thusfar. He's a huge part of the offense, they still have no QB, and they lost a HOF WR. They'd better hope he comes back.

Trent Richardson might be available in a couple weeks... ::ouch::

 

On topic, Arian Foster is one of my favorite backs in the league. Sucks that he's hurt.

I'm sure the lingerie league has better prospects at RB than TRich

And another fan favorite Chris Johnson.

[akcolt]

You guys signed Chris Polk in the off season. He was a workhorse for UW stuck behind Shady in Philly I'd keep an eye on him I will be for fantasy

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Yeah.....the Texans are the only team that suffers injuries.

 

I was alluding more to the fact that they have gargantuan expectations for Foster every year, and he seems to get a really bad injury, every year. Would you not agree with that?

[Solon]

Man, this guy can never stay healthy. Didn't he take out a insurance policy or something about him playing?

[TKnight24]

Foster probably headed to short term injured reserve, meaning he can practice after week 6 and be activated after week 8.

Yeah I was just thinking about him too. I hope they don't consider Rice at all. We don't need that here.

[corgi]

That's terrible news. I really like that guy even when he's giving the Colts trouble. I hope he doesn't miss a lot of time. Sorry Qwiz.

[will426]

Texans have to deal with that every years unfortunately sigh foster is a great back always has career games against us tho lol better now than during the season in which our case we lose our best players within week 1-3

[21isSuperman]

I don't think Foster was just a flash in the pan or anything.  I think he was/is a very talented runner with great patience and vision.  I think the problem comes with his use.  He's been one of the top used backs in the league in the last few years, and all those carries and hits will take their toll.

[Moncrief]

groin injuries are no fun. I always seemed to pull mine when I played. Hope he gets back to the field later this year

[MTC]

Never good to see injuries in the NFL. Wish Arian a speedy recovery.

[akcolt]

Rice's play was declining before he knocked out his girlfriend, I would be surprised if he plays in the NFL again. The Texans don't need him Blue. Polk you drafted Hillard from LSU late as well.

I'd be surprised too. I personally don't know too much about Polk or Hilliard, but apparently Pierre Thomas is coming to Houston tomorrow for a visit. If he's in good shape I don't think he leaves. I know he was pretty good playing with the Saints for quite a few years.
