Arian Foster returns to practice
Quote:
On his first carry of training camp, Texans running back Arian Foster pulled a hamstring. Nearly two weeks later, he’s back at practice.
“I thought he looked good,” coach Gary Kubiak said in comments distributed by the team. We told him to be smart when he came out here today. It looked like he was fine, so hopefully every day’s a progression and we work towards Saturday night. It’s a good step in the right direction.”
Foster sounded less certain about his ability to play in three days, when the Texans host the preseason-blitz-happy Saints. “I don’t know,” the 2010 NFL rushing leader said about the prospect of playing. “We’ll see how it goes. It felt good today but we’re going to take it day by day.”
Foster said his hamstring feels good, and that he’s “pretty much 100 percent.”
Operating fully at 100 percent, and then some, is his sense of humor. Asked if he felt like himself today, Foster said, “I feel like myself everyday.” As to how many reps he needs to get ready for the regular season, Foster said, “62. It’s a science, man. It’s a science.”
For the Texans, it’s a relief that he’s back. The same can’t be said for 2010 second-rounder Ben Tate, who is sliding deeper into the coach’s doghouse — and who has an injury of his own.
“He’s missed a lot of time as a pro football player and we’re waiting to get him out here,” Kubiak said. “But I will say this, from what I saw this morning, I’m hoping like heck he’s on this field tomorrow morning. We’ll see, but it looked like he took a big step forward and needs to get out here and compete.”
If that’s not enough to get Tate on the field, nothing will.
