The Texans' 2015 season was looking bleak since they're the Texans and in the same division as the Colts. Arian Foster's groin injury didn't help things.
But here's some good news. Foster's injury was originally thought to be serious enough for him to require surgery and be placed on IR. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport tweeted that Foster is noter headed to IR. He could be back as early as October.

Last year, Foster was one of the bright spots for the Texans who was not named J.J. Watt. Now there's a glimmer of hope Houston will make it past Week 17.
