    This.

    With both Cush & Arian gone, McNair will dismiss the first 7 games of the season and roll out the red carpet again for Kubes in 2014.

    Welcome to Houston pro football mediocrity.

    On the plus side, if you were to tell me before the season that Schaub, Foster, and Cush would get hurt (Foser/Cush for the season) there's no way I would have said the Texans would win the super bowl.

    Essentially we are in the same position we would have been even if we hadn't had all that BS game performances.

    Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed Arian Foster’s back surgery, issued a statement Wednesday about the procedure:

    Texans running back Arian Foster underwent a microscopic lumbar discectomy surgery … at the Marina Del Rey Hospital in Los Angeles on Nov. 13. The surgery went well and the timing of his return to football will depend on his progression through the rehabilitation program.​


    Rob Gronkowski, Shaun Cody, Kevin Youkilis(MLB), and Dwight Howard(likely among many others) have undergone the same procedure.

    So basically Arian will be terrible next year. This team is so unlucky with its RB's.
