Report: Foster's Groin Injury 'significant'

ESPN's Tania Ganguli reports Arian Foster's groin injury is "significant," and could require surgery. Houston radio host Jayson Braddock reports Foster is a candidate for injured reserve/designated to return. That would keep Foster out until Week 10. Foster is no stranger to groin issues, missing two games with one in 2014. Foster remained one of the league's best backs last season, but soft-tissue injuries have begun to take their toll. He's having more and more trouble staying on the field. Alfred Blue was Foster's 2014 backup, but must hold off Jonathan Grimes, Chris Polk, and rookie Kenny Hilliard for the duties this season. Look for the Texans to add a free agent running back in the coming days.
