Houston Texans: Montee Ball an option at running back?
The future of the Houston Texans running back situation is a bit mirky to say the least. Current starter and franchise yardage leader, Arian Foster is perpetually injured. The 2015 season will start with Foster on the sidelines, which adds to the 11 games he has missed in the past two seasons.
At 29-years of age the odds are not in his favor of suddenly becoming healthy. As for the people behind him, the team seems to have the most trust in second-year back Alfred Blue.
Blue has outperformed his sixth round draft status, but he still has questions since coming out of LSU. He rushed for 528 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games, three of which were starts, during his rookie campaign.
