I guess we'll know by tomorrow or Wednesday what is really happening with Tate's ankle, other than it isn't broken.
For RB we have now - likely would only keep 3 o 4 anyways, other than if great on special teams.
23 Foster, Arian * RB 6-1 229 Tennessee 2nd
27 Henry, Chris RB 5-11 234 Arizona 3rd
24 Johnson, Jeremiah RB 5-9 218 Oregon 1st(2nd)
20 Slaton, Steve RB 5-9 199 West Virginia 3rd
43 Tate, Ben * RB 5-11 220 Auburn 1st
Seems like other than Slayton, all are big and built for helping in the red zone. And Foster did real good in end zone last two games of last year.
I think 4 remaining RB are doing pretty well, running hard, max effort. maybe some need to learn the full offense, blocking skills, pass routes, but they have been here for OTA's and have few more weeks with now more reps to get ready.
In general RB start quick, get injured, hard to find older guy in good shape. You could bring in a fifth for helping in practice. no need to panic.
