The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... The Texans may not have had wide receiver Andre Johnson when they started mini-camp, but Foster took part in the practice, his first since being placed on injured reserve because of a back injury last season. “He’s cleared,” new HC Bill O’Brien said. “He looked good. He looked fine.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That injury required surgery, although Foster said last month that
it wasn’t a particularly serious operation. ... As PFT's Darin Gantt notes, after
losing Ben Tate to the Browns via free agency, the Texans solidified their depth chart behind Foster
by signing Andre Brown. The former Giants' presence may mean a less onerous workload for Foster than in the past, but the top running back job and a big role in the offense is going to be Foster’s as long as he’s healthy enough to take it. After last season's disappointment, fantasy football owners could get better draft day value out of a healthy Foster this summer. ... As for Johnson? The
wide receiver is healthy, but as O'Brien said when asked about the absence of his star receiver: “It’s voluntary. Again, we just coach who shows up.” We'll follow up as needed.
