Texans RB Arian Foster (groin) unlikely to play in Week 11



Texans RB Arian Foster is unlikely to play this Sunday versus the Browns due to the groin injury he suffered in Week 9. Head coach Bill O'Brien is calling Foster a game-time decision after the stud running back did some work on the side during Friday's practice, but most NFL insiders and reporters around the team expect Foster to sit.



Hopefully, any Foster owners handcuffed their high-risk/high-reward RB with Alfred Blue; signs point to a heavy dosage of Blue against the Browns. This news is not encouraging for the Texans as now they will likely be starting a rookie running back who is averaging 3.4 yards per carry behind newly appointed QB Ryan Mallett, who make his first career start in Cleveland. Don't expect much out of your Texans offensive players as the Browns' defense has played well as of late. This news added to the fact that the immobile Mallett will be under center only boosts that defense's floor for Week 11.
