Foster says he's considering a heart procedure to address a condition that forced him out of a game.|||||||
Foster told the NFL Network's Alex Flanagan on Thursday that he will "likely undergo" a heart ablation in about a month. An ablation involves the use of a catheter to correct structural problems that can lead to an abnormal heartbeat, according to the Mayo Clinic's official Web site. The 26-year-old Foster left in the third quarter of Houston's 23-6 loss to Minnesota on Dec. 23 with an irregular heartbeat.
Foster ran for 140 yards and one TD on 32 carries in Saturday's playoff win.|||||||
