With running back Arian Foster scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a disk in his back, Ben Tate will have to continue to carry the load, despite playing with four broken ribs.

Tate carried 15 times for 56 yards in Sunday’s 27-24 loss at Arizona. He wanted to carry the ball more. He’s playing with pain but learning to deal with it.

“There’s not much you can do,” he said today. “It’s just the same thing each week.”
