The Houston Texans' game against the Miami Dolphins just went from bad to worse. Down 41-0 at halftime, the Texans tried to battle back, but lost running back Arian Foster to an Achilles injury in the process. The early indications are not good.
Texans confirmed RB Arian Foster hurt his Achilles. Doctors believe it is torn. Horrible.

Foster missed time early this season with an injured groin. In the four games he played this season, Foster had limited success on the ground. He recorded just 163 yards and 1 TD on 63 carries. However, he did contribute in the passing game, racking up 227 yards and 2 TDs on 22 catches.
Alfred Blue is the main backup for the Texans and he'll likely see the bulk of the carries if Foster misses time. Blue's best game this season came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he racked up 139 yards. That game has made up over 60 percent of his yards this year.
Also on the roster at RB are Chris Polk and Jonathan Grimes.
