Nobody likes to see the kind of injury that happened to Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster(notes) with about a minute left in the first half of the Monday Night Football contest between the Colts and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was one of those plays where a mass of humanity is moving in the same direction, someone twists over someone else, and all of a sudden, you have an ankle that is turning very much the wrong way, which is what happened to the fourth-year player from Rutgers.
Indianapolis defensive tackle Eric Foster was carted off the field after injuring his right leg late in the second quarter of the Colts’ Monday night matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster was taken off the field with an ugly injury near the end of the first half on Monday Night Football. Players from the Colts and Bucs knelt on the field as Foster was carted away for medical attention.
Foster appeared to get tangled up with Colts defensive end Tyler Brayton as the pair of linemen pursued Bucs QB Josh Freeman. In the video below, you can see Foster getting caught under Brayton's leg and crumpling to the turf.
Fair warning: the video is tough to watch — just ask anyone who saw it live. Anyone, including LeBron James.
So sad. I wish him a fast recovery.
