So Foster's hurt. As in seriously hurt. This will surely be another excuse for the Kubiapologists.

That's obviously what we're hoping for but the radio guys are talking quite a bit about his dejected body language and so on.

I'm watching the game over the internets and have the SF feed so if any of you watching the KTRK feed have any insight on Foster's condition don't be shy.

Foster seemed more upset than injured. I'm hoping its all just precautionary measures...

Foster hopped and went down, slammed his fist, yanked off his helmet and hobbled to the sideline and then to the locker room under his own power. The booth is speculating it's a pulled hammy. I suspect they are getting an MRI to start with.

If true, not a season-ender, but might cost him 2-4 weeks.
