Texans' Foster will not play Sunday with hamstring injury

Cary Edmondson / USA TODAY Sports

If the Houston Texans are to remain undefeated this week, they'll need to do it on the road without one of their top offensive weapons.

Texans running back Arian Foster is inactive for Sunday's contest against the New York Giants after being limited all week in practice with a hamstring injury. 

Foster leads AFC running backs with 241 yards and a league-high 55 carries through the first two weeks of the season. Rookie Alfred Blue and Jonathan Grimes are expected to shoulder the load on the ground in Foster's absence. Blue ran for 40 yards on 11 carries in last week's 30-14 win over Oakland.
