Running back Arian Foster won’t play Thursday in the preseason finale against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington and so will miss all four preseason games while recovering from calf and back injuries. Foster said last week he plans to be active for the team’s regular-season opener Sept. 9 at San Diego. If he takes the field, he’ll do so without recording a single carry during the preseason. Foster, 26, acknowledged last week he was unsure whether he required preseason reps to be ready for a 17-week regular season. “I’m not a huge fan of preseason,†Foster said. “But I feel like I’ll be ready for Sept. 9. I know game speed. I just have to get myself back and acclimated for football. But I’ll be fine.†Source: Houston Chronicle
