Don't know why anyone would want to watch that again. It was horrific. I feel bad for the guy. From what the announcers said, he was one of those hard workers that worked his way up to become a starter. Now he is at least done for the season, and his career depends on how serious it is and how he can recover.

Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster was carted off the field during Monday's game against the Buccaneers after suffering a gruesome injury to his right leg. According to Phillip Wilson of the Indianapolis Star, we have an official diagnosis:

#Colts DT Eric Foster has dislocated right ankle ... that's report from sideline. Obviously was a very serious dislocation.

The Colts probably won't offer an official estimate for how much time Foster will miss, but looking at the video, it wouldn't be a surprise at all if this was a season-ending injury. His right ankle was literally pointing 90 degrees in the wrong direction after teammate Tyler Brayton accidentally rolled into his legs.

He'll be put on IR. I can't see how he'd come back this year from that injury. Even if they made the Superbowl (Which at 0-4 they obviously will not get near the playoffs let alone the Superbowl) I don't see him being back or ready but definately not by the end of this regular season.
