What about Ben Tate? Does this mean Slaton is done?

Don’t forget about Ben Tate, Houston’s 2nd round pick last year who went down with an injury during pre-season.

Slaton’s wasn’t used often last year, and the coaching staff tried him out for the season as a KR, which he was surely among the leagues worst at. Slaton may stay with the team next year but if Tate shows even a glimmer of talent he’s probably gone. Hopefully the Texans could get at least a 6th for him from another team in need of RB help.

Ward plays well in a ZBS. Horrible otherwise.

Expect Slaton to be cut in camp. Leaving Foster, Ward, and Tate in the backfield
