Arian Foster not expected to play Thursday vs. Bengals
Arian Foster missed Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns because of a groin injury, and it does not seem likely that he will be able to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, either.
Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase hinted to reporters on Monday that Foster will miss at least another game.
Gase all but rules Arian Foster out for Thursday. "We're going to make sure he's at the right place for us."

While Foster has still shown plenty of burst when healthy, it’s the staying healthy part that has become a major issue for him. The team considers him day-to-day with a groin injury, but it must be at least somewhat serious if it could keep Foster out in consecutive weeks.
The Dolphins do not have much depth in their backfield, and neither Jay Ajayi nor Kenyan Drake looked impressive against Cleveland. Miami will struggle to establish a consistent running game as long as Foster remains on the shelf.
