HOUSTON (AP) _ Texans running back Arian Foster’s strained right calf will keep
him off the practice field until training camp this summer.
Foster was injured in an offseason practice on Tuesday. Tests revealed no
further damage, but the strain will keep Foster on crutches for at least a
couple of days. Coach Gary Kubiak says he expects his leading rusher to be
fine, but that he won’t participate in the team’s practices over the next two
weeks.
Kubiak says that Foster, who ran for 1,424 yards last season, was injured
simply taking a step on a play on Tuesday. He believes Foster will be healthy in
plenty of time for the start of training camp, which usually is held in late
July.
