Defensive tackle Eric Foster spent the night in an area hospital after suffering a dislocated right ankle in the second quarter of the Colts’ 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Monday night.
Colts coach Jim Caldwell said Foster will have surgery on the ankle. The injury occurred with 52 seconds remaining in the half and the Colts leading 10-7. Foster got tangled up with the pile while trying to assist on a tackle and remained down after the play. He was immediately attended to by the training staff, fitted with an air cast and left the field on a cart.

Foster unsure of return: The bad news for fantasy owners is that it looks like another week without RB Arian Foster. The good news is that there’s advance warning this time around. With RB Derrick Ward also in danger of missing Sunday’s game against the Saints, the Texans will go with a heavy dose of Ben Tate. As long as Tate continues producing, it’s hard to imagine him being relegated to second fiddle even when Foster is healthy again.
Manningham in doubt: Another day, another injury for the Giants. With WR Domenik Hixon done for the season, losing WR Mario Manningham even for a week makes Big Blue’s entire passing game a risky proposition against the ball-hawking Eagles’ secondary. While that’s bad news for WR Hakeem Nicks and QB Eli Manning, it could benefit owners of RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs, who should see plenty of carries.
Romo, Jones held out of practice: Speaking of injury-riddled squads, keep an eye on both Tony Romo and Felix Jones in Dallas. Romo is expected to be fitted for a kevlar vest to protect his cracked ribs, while Jones is nursing a separated shoulder. While both very well could play on Monday against the Redskins, neither is an attractive start against an aggressive, rejuvenated defense.

Here we go again in Houston.
It looks like Arian Foster fantasy owners will be on alert this week to see if the running back is available for Sunday’s game at New Orleans. Ben Tate has already proven that he’s a worthy replacement for Foster and is quickly moving up the ranks as a fantasy commodity. After he was forced out of last week’s game after aggravating his injured hamstring, Foster shouldn’t be counted on for big production this week, even if he does play.
Considering that Foster earned the starting job last season because of injuries to others, it’s not unreasonable to think the same thing could happen to him.

UPDATE: Foster officially was ruled out when the Texans released their inactive players at 11:30 a.m. ET. Ward will start in Foster’s place.
The Texans have yet to officially deactivate Arian Foster, but team officials don’t expect him to play Sunday against the Colts.
Internally, Foster isn’t in Houston’s game-day plans, according to a source, and no one believes his hamstring will allow him to play. The running back, who led the NFL in rushing last season, would be officially deactivated at 11:30 a.m. ET.
The Texans plan on a heavy rushing workload, with Derrick Ward the starter but with sufficient carries for youngster Ben Tate as well.
