Beasley: Pre Training Camp Notes- Gase Comments, Foster, Howard, Parker

[Daytona Fin]

Bad news for Howard and the Dolphins’ thin secondary, for sure.But potentially good news for the Dolphins’ newest face: running back Arian Foster, who one-year contract with the team last week.
Gase still wants a look at Foster’s reconstructed Achilles tendon before deciding on his near-term availability. Foster must pass a conditioning test before the Dolphins green-light him for camp, which begins Friday.
But the fact that Foster hasn’t been totally ruled out speaks well for his health. Foster tore the Achilles during the 2015 season.
“I have a lot of faith in our training staff and our strength and conditioning, our sports science [department],” Gase said, when asked why he was comfortable signing the four-time Pro Bowler. “We spent a lot of time with him on two different visits.”
Gase added: “We had brought him in on a visit [in late March] and we had a really good talk and just kind of allowed him to get healthy and work to get back. It’ll be interesting when we get him out there and just to see how he kind of fits in.”
As long as his body cooperates, anything’s possible for Foster in Miami this year — including a spot in the starting lineup.
Gase remains high on second-year back Jay Ajayi, but a healthy (and resurgent) Foster would have the chance to steal the job from him.
“It usually sorts itself out,” Gase said. “It’s hard to predict anything as far as going into the regular season.”

The league’s deadline to decide whether to reinstate Dion Jordan is next week, but Gase said the NFL still had not notified the club whether Jordan will be allowed back.“Until somebody tells me that he’s reinstated, I’ve got nothing to add to that,” Gase said.
▪ Second-year receiver DeVante Parker, hampered by foot injuries in each of the past two years, “shouldn’t have any limitations and we should be able full go right out the gate,” Gase said.
▪ All signs point to Gase pushing his young team as hard as he can this summer — without violating NFL rules.
“We still got 35 guys under 25 [years old],” Gase said. “So it’s not going to be a cupcake. We’re here to work. We need to get better. We were 6-10 last year. The team up in New England has won the division what 13 out of 16 years? We’ve got a lot of work.”

"Arian Foster could be a sleeper. He was playing pretty good for HOU. He still had some gas in the tank when he got hurt." -@CharleyCasserly

With Parker having no limitations and the fact Gase said him and Tannehill have a natural chemistry is getting me all excited.
