Although Texans coach Bill O'Brien has not completely ruled him out, all signs point to running back Arian Foster sitting out Sunday's game against the Browns in Week 11 because of a groin injury he suffered before the bye week against Philadelphia, the Houston Chronicle reports.
"He and I will talk," O'Brien said. "We'll do what's best for Arian Foster No. 1 and then what's best for our team No. 2. At the end of the day it's more about the health of the player than it is with anything else, especially with a guy like Arian Foster. You've got a guy there that's played a lot of football in this league. We'll just make sure we're in communication with him. We'll make a good decision for him and our team Sunday."
Foster, who is officially listed as questionable on the injury report, will accompany the team to Cleveland and will work out with the coaches prior to kickoff to determine his status for Week 11. If he is unable to play, Alfred Blue will be the probable starter, with Jonathan Grimes backing him up.
