Luckily for all of the NFL teams and Fantasy Football owners, week seven of the 2015 season ended with very few injuries. Yes, Monday Night Football takes place tonight so we might see more injuries, but after the majority of the games coming to a close yesterday, we have a good look at the week eight injury report. Unfortunately, one of the biggest injuries this week was suffered by Houston Texans running back Arian Foster. Read more on this news and find out some tips below.

Are you a Fantasy owner of Foster? If so, we're sorry to say but he suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture, according to SBNATION.
"I feel terrible for him," Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said, according to ESPN. "He's done a lot for us in the two years I've been here. I hate that part of the game."
Foster told reporters that it happened on a routine play, so he was surprised at how serious it turned out to be.
Texans confirmed RB Arian Foster hurt his Achilles. Doctors believe it is torn. Horrible.

Alfred Blue is Foster's backup, so that's definitely a target running back to try and pick up off of the waiver wire this week. Otherwise, stay tuned for more waiver wire advice tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay's Vincent Jackson exited the game this weekend with a knee injury and did not return. There is no update on the Buccaneer, so stay tuned. Also, rookie receiver Phillip Dorsett of the Colts fractured his left ankle, but his Fantasy ownership is low enough that it won't make too much of a ripple in week eight. According to reports, quarterback Matt Stafford injured his non-throwing hand this week, but he isn't expected to miss any game time.
This injury report isn't as long this week, but it's certainly terrible news for the players themselves. We wish them a speedy recover.
