Running Back Arian Foster

(On how much he is able to do physically at this point) – “Right now, I have to wait. I haven’t practiced yet, so I have to wait. But I feel pretty good. I feel confident in it.”

(On what he has done so far) – “I’ve ran. I’ve sprinted. I feel pretty good.”

(On if he anticipates practicing today) – “Yes, I’m going to be at practice today.”

(On how he wants to see his body respond before deciding if he will play on Sunday) – “I want it to not hurt. That’s the goal.”

(On if it has been hurting) – “Obviously.”

(On how long it has been hurting) – “The last three weeks, three and a half weeks.”

(On if it wasn’t right late last week) – “It doesn’t hurt. It’s just not where it needs to be. There’s a certain amount of confidence you have to have in soft tissue injuries in order to explode like you want to explode.”

(On if the roster moves the team made sends a message to the rest of the team) – “It’s a business. You kind of forget that sometimes, but when you see guys get let go, you get reminded very fast that they have a certain standard that they want on their roster. If they feel you don’t meet that standard, they’ll go in another direction. You always have to keep that in mind if you’re in this league.”

(On if the roster moves were what he expected from Head Coach Adam Gase) – “I don’t get involved in transactions. That’s not my business. I’m just here to be a good teammate.”

(On if it is a warning sign that nobody is safe and if you don’t do your job that you’ll be looking for work) – “You should feel like that anyway in the NFL. I’ve always been of the mindset that upstairs, they’re looking for somebody to replace you every single day and it’s your job to have them not do that.”

(On if it has been a frustrating season for him so far) – “Yes. You want to be out there and help the team with as much offseason work I’ve put in to get back healthy from the injury I had, and a little thing pops up. But it’s part of the game. You can’t scream at the universe. It’s not the universe’s fault.”

(On if his groin and hamstring injuries are related) – “They’re cousins (laughter).”

(On if the injuries are first cousins) – “Distant.”

(On if the injuries were related) – “Yes. They’re cousins. Same bloodline.”
