Arian Foster To Sit Until Training Camp With Strained Calf

Jul 15, 2014 7:22 AM

Arian Foster will miss the remainder of the Houston Texans' OTAs and the team's minicamp due to a strained right calf.

Foster was on crutches on Wednesday, one day after he suffered the injury on the first play of team drills.

"He'll stay on crutches a couple of days, rehab, and we'll have him back for camp. He's going to be fine," Gary Kubiak told reporters on Wednesday.

Ben Tate will receive most of the reps in Foster's absence.

Foster Remains Most Consistent Fantasy Option Than Peterson

Oct 31, 2014 6:10 AM

Adrian Peterson nearly set the single season rushing record in 2012 and has rushed for 10 or more touchdowns in every season he's been in the NFL, but Arian Foster still remains a viable candidate for best fantasy running back.

Foster had 11 quality starts compared to nine for Peterson, the third straight season in which he has done so. A quality start is a top-10 finish in a given week.

Over the past two seasons, Foster has posted a quality start in 69 percent of games as compared to Peterson’s mark of 46.4 percent.

While Peterson's season totals were outstanding, he was more likely to finish a given week outside of the top-10 at running back than inside it.

Ed Reed has undergone arthroscopic surgery to repair a labral tear in his hip.

Reed signed a three-year, $15 million deal with the Houston Texans this offseason.

"He'll miss the offseason program, and it's just something we'll have to work through," Gary Kubiak said. "We'll get him healthy, and he should be fine.

"We've got to get the young safeties ready to go. They'll get a lot of reps."
