Last I saw of Slaton, he was running timidly after reinjuring his surgically repaired neck. I think Kubes would have put him on IR were it not for how easy it is to lose RBs to injury. We've really been fortunate with Foster this year. A lot of teams haven't had their starting tailback all year.
I heard Boomer Esiason say today that 311 NFL players are already on IR this year compared to 277 for all of last year.
