    Welp, this came out of the blue on a sunday morning. Foster out for season.

    Not too surprising, I think this is the right move to make. No reason to play him now with the season basically over.

    We're definitely drafting a rb next draft, maybe even in the early rounds.

    Even less reason to play Tate, since the season is over, and he's not going to be on it next year.

    DJ will be the starter within 3 weeks, as I said at the beginning of the thread.

    It's a damn shame that they cut Cierre Wood for no reason.

    Back surgery!?

    Obviously this was hinted at; that this was a possibility but back surgery?! That's never good.

    Yeah, I still strongly consider cutting him in the offseason.

    I feel bad for Case if that's the situation. I believe the Texans liked DJ as a runner but he was terrible at blocking the blitz.

    Don't feel bad for Case...he has 5 or 6 more seasons as the starter to prove himself whether he's good or not!

    Not the way I would have liked it, but oh well.
