The Facts:
Despite Foster missing another tentative target date, HC Gary Kubiak said Monday he believes the team’s star running back will be ready for the Sept. 9 season-opener at San Diego. “I am, because I watch him work,” Kubiak said at the Texans’ practice facility. “I’ve been watching him — he’s basically going through practice or has been since we’ve been in camp on his own with (head trainer) Geoff (Kaplan). And, obviously, there’s been a little setback as we try to get the soreness out of him. But from what I’ve seen, yes, because it’s not like he’s been standing around for the last three weeks.”

Kubiak said that if he had an official date for Foster’s return, “I’d give it you.” The team was hopeful the three-time Pro Bowler would return to full practice Monday. Instead, Foster remained on the PUP list, working out on a side field, then watching as the Texans ran through light drills. “(Monday) was my date and that one didn’t work,” Kubiak said. “So we’ll just have some patience here.” Ben Tate will initially replace Foster as the Texans’ primary back until the 2010 All-Pro is greenlighted (subscribers can hit our
