Down Goes Foster

The recent injury to RB Arian Foster of the Houston Texans shows how precarious training camp can be. The Pats saw it yesterday when Julien Edeleman got banged up on a play and sat out the rest of practice.

The goal of every team should be to get through training camp and the four preseason games without losing anyone to IR, but that rarely happens. Most teams lose at least one or two players before the season starts.

Foster will have surgery on his groin and be placed on IR with the stipulation to return after the first eight weeks of the season. It remains to be seen if he returns to form.
