DAVIE, Fla. -- Four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster is a starter again.Foster was listed with the first unit on the Miami Dolphins depth chart Monday and will start their opener Sunday at Seattle less than 11 months after tearing his Achilles tendon while with the Houston Texans.Signed by Miami in July, Foster rushed for only 5 yards on seven carries in the preseason, but beat out Jay Ajayi for the starting job.A little bit of the reason is experience, coach Adam Gase said. He had a really good camp. He did everything we asked him to do as far as what we wanted to see in the preseason, and he has been very consistent in his knowledge of the offense in the short period of time that he was here. It was impressive to watch him and how quickly he picked it up.Also winning starting jobs were two rookies, first-round pick Laremy Tunsil at left guard and second-round pick Xavien Howard at cornerback. Veteran newcomer Jermon Bushrod will start at right guard.Foster holds the Texans franchise record with 6,472 yards rushing, but injuries have limited him to 25 games in the past three years. He played in just four games last season, averaging 2.6 yards per carry.Three starters missed practice: center Mike Pouncey (hip), receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) and linebacker Jelani Jenkins (knee). Jenkins is the most likely to be available Sunday, while Pounceys status remains week to week, Gase said.The Dolphins were surprised receiver Justin Hunter was available on the waiver wire, Gase added. Miami claimed him as a sixth receiver Sunday.I didnt think I was going to come here, but Im happy to be here now, said Hunter, a second-round draft pick by Tennessee in 2013. Its a whole group of guys, new team, new organization. They believe in me enough to bring me here. Im honored.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max Plus Uk .

Air Max Plus Uk Online . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats.STILLWATER, Okla. -- A year ago, accomplished Oklahoma State guard Phil Forte called then-incoming freshman Jawun Evans the best player on the team.It took a while, but Evans proved him right.Evans began the season deferring to others, but the point guard eventually learned what he could do, became more assertive and averaged 12.9 points and 4.9 assists before missing the final nine games with a shoulder injury. He scored 42 points in a loss to Oklahoma and he led the Cowboys with 22 points, six rebounds, eight assists and two steals in an upset win at home over No. 3 Kansas. The Big 12 freshman of the year has healed, and hes a preseason all-conference pick who is expected to help the Cowboys improve on last seasons 12-20 campaign.When new coach Brad Underwood got his first look at Evans after arriving from Stephen F. Austin, he was floored.He is very gifted in the fact that he sees plays before they happen, and there are not a lot of people who do that, Underwood said. And Jawun has an uncanny ability, and I use a cliche, `Good players make themselves better, great players make their team better. Jawun falls into that category.Evans will have a key playmaker back in Forte, who was lost for most of last season with an elbow injury. Forte averaged 15 points and was a third-team All-Big 12 pick as a junior in 2014-15. He ranks fourth in school history with 244 career 3-pointers.Hes one of those guys that nobodys really talking about, and they should be, Underwood said.Here are some things to watch this season:UNDERWOOD WINSUnderwood led Stephen F. Austin to a win over West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament last season. He went 89-14 in his three years there, tied with Brad Stevens for the most wins byy a head coach in his first three seasons at an NCAA school.ddddddddddddFORTES AGEForte, a 23-year-old senior, gets plenty of grief for his elder statesman status. He couldnt believe some of his teammates didnt know who rapper Ludacris was when he visited campus. Underwood appreciates Fortes experience.Im the most blessed coach on the planet, Underwood said. When you walk in here trying to establish a culture and having a young man who in high school learned how to work hard, learned a passion for the game. And to have him here to teach our young players -- he deserves to have a good year.LEYTON HAMMONDSHammonds, a senior, is back after a breakout season in which he averaged 10.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest. He averaged 2.3 points two seasons ago and 1.5 points as a freshman.Leyton Hammonds (is) a senior who has proven it, has done it, has been successful and has tremendous leadership, Underwood said.HIGH EXPECTATIONSEddie Sutton led the Cowboys to Final Fours in 1995 and 2004, so the bar is sky high. Travis Ford was run out of town after he reached the NCAA Tournament five times in nine years, including three of his final four seasons.REMEMBERING COGERTyrek Coger, a forward, died this summer after a workout, and it was eventually found that he had an enlarged heart. The team is still dealing with it.Well never forget Ty, Underwood said. Thats one thing that will stay without team. We talk about family a lot. Everything we do, whether theres a patch or not, hes a part of every single thing we do, every single day.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP ' ' '
