Houston Texans running back Arian Foster's injury-plagued season looks over as he suffers a torn Achilles tendon in their 44-26 loss against the Miami Dolphins. He was injured late in the game after the ball was snapped and went wide during a very routine play. The injury was non-contact, per Associated Press.

"Just a routine play. Trying to make a cut, gave out on me. That's life, man. It ain't perfect. Just gotta keep fighting," Foster told reporters via ESPN. He left the arena in crutches and is scheduled for an MRI to assess the injury further.

This is another setback for the four-time Pro-Bowler as he has a history of injuries throughout his career, missing at least a game per season. He missed three games at the start of the season with a groin injury, per NFL.com. The injury happened during training and he was required a surgery to reattach the muscle to the bone.

"I feel terrible for him. He's done a lot for us in the two years I've been here. I hate that part of the game," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. He was also asked if he should have sat down Foster as it was already garbage time.

"No, I thought at that point it was. I think there were between four and five minutes left in the game, and we were trying to get a touchdown there," he answered as quoted by ESPN.

The possibility of the 29-year-old running back's final game as a member of the Texans was also considered by a separate report from ESPN. Foster is scheduled to make $6.5 million next season with a salary cap number of $9.3 million while Houston can save up to $7 million in salary cap space if they release Foster.

The report added that the New Mexico-native will be turning 30 years old next season, which is not the age where the body heals quickly. He was signed as an unrestricted free agent in 2009 and blossomed into one of the best running backs in the NFL.

The Texans will look to DeAndre Hopkins, Alfred Blue and Chris Polk to fill in the void left by Foster, as reported by NFL.com. The Houston are still alive even with a 2-5 record as they are only a game behind the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South Division Standings.

Foster holds a few Houston Texans franchise records such as most career rushing yards with 6,309, most career rushing touchdowns with 53, most rushing yards in a single season with 1,616 in 2010 and most rushing touchdowns in a single season with 16 also in 2010. He also is the first NFL player in history to have 100+ rushing yards in his first three postseason games, per the Houston Texans profile via Pro-Football-Reference.com.
