Ben Tate

Texans RB Ben Tate was not ready for Monday’s practice and likely won’t be ready for a few more days. His status for Sunday’s game against Buffalo is uncertain.

“My biggest level of concern with Tate is just keeping him on the field,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “It seems like it’s been one thing after another. If it’s not the toe, the hamstring. This has been going on for a few years. We need him.”

Justin Forsett will back up Arian Foster while Tate is sidelined.
