Arian Foster: Announces retirement
Arian Foster announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reportsFoster has decided to call it a career in the middle of his eighth season in the league. The 30-year-old has seen his production dip over the last year and a half while struggling to stay on the field. Foster released a statement declaring he is "walking away with peace," adding that his body no longer can "take the punishment this game asks for." Foster spent his first seven seasons with the Texans before landing with the Dolphins this past offseason. He was an undrafted rookie in 2009 but quickly rose to full-fledged superstardom by 2010 when he led the league in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, scrimmage yards and total touchdowns. Foster was a consistent force when healthy the next four years -- only slowed down by a slew of nagging lower-body injuries. He'll retire with 6,527 rushing yards, 2,346 receiving yards and 68 touchdowns in only 80 career games.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Quiet for a second straight week
Arian Foster only had three rushes for five yards and one reception for four yards Sunday as the Miami Dolphins defeated the Bill 28-25.Foster may be quiet for the immediate future as well since he has clearly lost his starting job to Jay Ajayi. Foster was the starting running back to open the season but the hamstring injury opened the door for Ajayi and he seems to have slammed it shut behind him. The best chance for Foster to get on the field now could be as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Active for Week 7 versus Bills
Arian Foster (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 7 tilt versus the Bills.The veteran running back had practiced fully all week and will shed his injury designation for Sunday's Week 7 tilt. However, with Jay Ajayi's explosive 204-yard outing against the Steelers last Sunday, it's unclear how much work Foster will receive against a stingy Bills front seven.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Practices fully, but listed as questionable
Despite being listed as a full practice participant all week, Arian Foster (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.Foster's full practice participation at practice suggests that he's likely to be active for Sunday's 1:00 ET tilt, but the questionable designation is an acknowledgment that the veteran back -- who missed time earlier this season -- is not yet 100 percent. Meanwhile, Jay Ajayi's 25-carry, 204-yard rushing effort in Week 6 has him atop the Miami Dolphins' RB pecking order for now.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Not 100 percent yet
Arian Foster was a full participant once again in Thursday's practice, but he still isn't fully recovered from his groin strain, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.Foster finished with five touches in his return from a three-week absence last Sunday versus the Steelers. While teammate Jay Ajayi's 204-yard explosion stole the spotlight, Foster still isn't ready for a full workload, with coach Adam Gase saying it's clear he's a step slower than usual following his injury. Foster's complete practice participation should help him return to full form, but Ajayi should continue to lead Miami's backfield attack Sunday versus Buffalo.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Practices fully
Arian Foster (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.Per the Palm Beach Post, Foster "asked to practice on Wednesday, which is not typical, because he wanted to push his injured hamstring and groin." As the veteran back attempts to distance himself from his latest round of aches and pains, the reality as Sunday's game against the Bills approaches is that Jay Ajayi's 25-carry, 204-yard rushing effort in Week 6 puts him atop the Miami Dolphins' RB pecking order for now. In the meantime, Foster -- who rushed three times for three yards and added two catches for 12 yards on two targets this past Sunday against the Steelers -- profiles as a complementary option.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Still a bit limited by hammy
Arian Foster was still somewhat limited by his hamstring in Sunday's win over the Steelers, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.Foster returned from a three-week absence with a limited role off the bench behind Jay Ajayi, who shockingly led the team to victory behind 204 rushing yards and a pair of scores. Foster only had five touches for 15 yards, and while his limited contribution may have been related to the injury, Ajayi still made a convincing case to maintain the lead-back role. Foster thus figures to work as a complementary option in Week 7 against the Bills, potentially getting most of his snaps on passing downs.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Five touches in return
Arian Foster (hamstring) rushed three times for three yards, and added two catches for 12 yards on two targets Sunday against the Steelers.Foster was used sparingly in his return, and was mostly limited to watching as fellow Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi exploded for over 200 yards on the ground in a 30-15 win. The injury-prone veteran originally beat out Ajayi for the starting job in camp, but looks to be a clear second on the depth chart at this point. Don't expect that to change any time soon based on their play in this one.

Dolphins' Arian Foster: Suits up Sunday
Arian Foster (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.After initially going with a committee approach in Foster's absence, and then rolling largely with Jay Ajayi (13/42/1) in Week 5, we suspect that the 1-4 Miami Dolphins would prefer to feature Foster as much as possible (spelled by Ajayi) on Sunday, so long as his hamstring holds up.
