Arian Foster missed the Houston Texans’ Week 3 blowout loss to the New York Giants and his status is again in question for their Week 4 meeting with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon.

More from Houston Texans

Foster is dealing with a hamstring injury and his availability for this week’s game will come down to the wire, according to Texans head coach Bill O’Brien.

From CSN Houston:

"Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said the team will work Foster out Sunday before the game. O’Brien said Foster did some things at practice Wednesday."

Foster is officially day-to-day.

In recent years, when Foster was forced to miss action because of injury — which is an all too familiar situation for the Texans — backup running back Ben Tate would be able to come in and the offense wouldn’t miss a beat. Unfortunately for Houston, Ben Tate joined the Cleveland Browns in free agency.

If Foster is absent, Alfred Blue will again get the start.
