Houston Texans running back Arian Foster will likely undergo heart surgery some time next month. Foster, who has had the problem since he was in high school, was actually forced to miss a game this season due to the issue. The procedure would be to correct “structural problems” that can lead to an abnormal heart. He missed just the one game, but Texans coach Gary Kubiak said that Foster has had the problem affect him in practice more than once. Abnormal heartbeats are no joke. Many professional athletes have died unfortunately as a result of that condition. Hope all goes well for Foster.
