Houston Texans RUMORS: Arian Foster Has Torn Achilles, Season Over

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has reportedly torn his Achilles and will miss the remainder of the 2015 season, according to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport.

The Texans running back suffered the injury in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins. Houston was blown out early in the game but fought back and lost 44-26. Foster was seen on crutches in the locker room after the game, according to ESPN's Tania Ganguli.

"It obviously didn't look good," said head coach Bill O'Brien about Foster's injury, via ESPN. Foster had rushed for 59 yards and a rushing touchdown before the injury. He also had five catches for 66 yards and a receiving touchdown on the day.

Foster had groin surgery back in August after getting injured during preseason. The Texans star running back didn't make his debut until their fourth game of the season against the Atlanta Falcons.

Foster has only completed a full 16 game season twice in his NFL career. The Texans will miss their star running back, as he is likely their best offensive weapon. The Texans fell to 2-5 Sunday, but luckily for Texans fans, they only sit one game behind the Indianapolis Colts. O'Brien will need running backs Alfred Blue and Chris Polk to step up the rest of this season if the Texans want to contend in their division.
