With Arian Foster deciding to have season-ending back surgery, Houston Texans running back Ben Tate assumed the primary role, but only rushed 15 times for 56 yards in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Tate is dealing with four cracked ribs, but isn't having the impact season generally expected from a player in a contract year. On the year, Tate has 103 carries for 455 yards and one touchdown. He is averaging 4.4 yards per carry.
