Texans running back Arian Foster may be losing his grip on the team's starting job, but he is still preaching patience regarding his hamstring injury. "I'll take it day by day, mainly keeping it more and more healthy until I feel it's 100 percent," Foster said. "I'm a competitor, and I want to play. I want to help this team win ballgames. This is one of those injuries ... you can't push through it. The more you push, the worse it gets. It's just tough for a competitive person." Ben Tate has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of the first two weeks. He started Week 1 and filled in for Foster after an early exit in Week 2. "It's going to get healed -- it's only Game 2," Foster said. "I want to be out there with my team, but this team is looking to advance further than we have before. I want to make sure I'm healthy for the right stretch."
