Texans running back Arian Foster (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5469/arian-foster) can’t seem to shake his hamstring troubles.

After missing the first half of August with a left hamstring injury, Foster left Saturday’s preseason game after aggravating the the same injury (http://twitter.com/#!/McClain_on_NFL/status/107618410430611456), according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.

Wes Welker leaves with neck injury (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/27/wes-welker-leaves-with-neck-injury/)

Tom Brady (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/1163/tom-brady)’s last pass on an ugly night wound up getting his favorite receiver Wes Welker (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/2964/wes-welker) hurt.

He didn’t return after halftime, and the Patriots call him “questionable” to return with a neck injury. It’s a safe bet Welker won’t be back Saturday night. The bigger question is whether the injury is serious.

There were points — and injuries — a plenty in Pittsburgh on Saturday night.

The news wasn’t as good for veteran quarterback Byron Leftwich (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/1478/byron-leftwich). He suffered a broken arm. Tomlin said that the former top-ten draft pick will be out for a while.

I think this is just a reflection of a short off season program! Thanks for the update.

really doubt a broken arm happens because of that. Pulls and such OK; not broken bones.
