DAVIE (AP) — Four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster is a starter again.
Foster was listed with the first unit on the Miami Dolphins’ depth chart Monday and will start their opener Sunday at Seattle less than 11 months after tearing his Achilles tendon while with the Houston Texans.
Signed by Miami in July, Foster rushed for only 5 yards on seven carries in the preseason, but beat out Jay Ajayi for the starting job.
“A little bit of the reason is experience,” coach Adam Gase said. “He had a really good camp. He did everything we asked him to do as far as what we wanted to see in the preseason, and he has been very consistent in his knowledge of the offense in the short period of time that he was here.
