The Facts: One year ago, Foster shut down one of the most fascinating, contemplative Twitter accounts in the NFL. The Texans star returned to social media Saturday with the revelation that he's been medically cleared following November's season-ending back surgery.

Diehards Line: What Foster left out is whether he's been cleared simply to resume running or if he's been given the green light to go full steam ahead with football activities, including physical contact. Still, it's a good sign, especially when taken in context with the fact GM Rick Smith expressed confidence at last month's NFL Scouting Combine that Foster's troublesome back will be fine going forward. Now that former insurance policy Ben Tate is leading the Browns' backfield, it's more important than ever that Foster stays healthy -- and recovers his Pro Bowl form of 2010 to '12.
