Arian Foster Officially OUT According to Texans
We noted yesterday a report that Arian Foster was OUT for Sunday’s Cleveland Browns Vs Houston Texans game. Shortly after Bill O’Brien, Texans Head Coach, came out and reported that Foster was still questionable.
We now have confirmation that the Texans have ruled Foster OUT for tomorrow’s game:
Obviously huge news for the Browns as they do not have to worry about one of the best offensive players in the game. Alfred Blue is a rookie that the Texans like for his long term potential. Right now he is a far less talent than Foster. The Browns have had their troubles with running backs this season, including allowing unknown Lorenzo Taliaferro to rush for 91 yards, with a 5.1 YPC average, and Denard Robinson to go for 127 yards on 22 carries and a 5.8 YPC average. Even against Tampa Bay the Browns allowed Bobby Rainey 87 yards and a 4.6 YPC before the Bucs decided to go away from their run game. The Texans have been far from successful when Foster has been out, something the Browns would like to continue:
The #Texans are 1-11 All-Time when Arian Foster is out with an injury.

Without Foster a ton of pressure is on Ryan Mallett, the tall rocket armed QB from Arkansas, making his first start for the Texans.
The Browns hope to leave their home game with the Texans at 7 – 3 and in control of the AFC North. Today’s official word on Foster should help with that.
Now that Arian Foster is officially OUT, what do you think happens in the game tomorrow?
