Ben Tate trys to step up and breaks ankle.

That clears up the picture in Houston quite a bit. Foster should move up on all draft boards now.

:nod: Foster will be the main running back. But I still think Slaton will be teh back to have if you are ppr. They are a passing offense, and he will be the back in getting those receptions. Both could end up being very viable starters depending on scoring.

tell me TexanGrrl.....Foster can catch the ball?? ....right? Seems he was pretty well rounded?

We've been looking for our own Thunder and Lightning for years. Foster has the size and skills to be our power back. Slaton is more suited to the speed role. Ben Tate had a nice mix of both. That's why we grabbed the guy in the 2nd round.

Don't forget we still have Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson. Who knows what can happen here. I would also expect Kubiak to want another body at RB to finish out the preseason.

Per Kubiak in his live presser, Tate will need surgery; however, he didn't state exactly what was up with the lower leg issue. Per Ben Tate on his facebook page, all he can say is that he didn't break his ankle. :clap:

So, his time out is still unknown.

Just read Ben Tate has a broken fibula and torn ligaments in his ankle and will be out for the season.
