MIAMI -- Four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster took a big step Monday in his comeback from a torn Achilles tendon.He found a team.Foster signed a $1.5 million, one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins, and said hes fully healthy.I still feel like Im a Pro Bowl-caliber player, and I intend to show it, Foster said.Foster, who spent the past seven years with the Houston Texans, was hurt in Game 7 last year at Miami. He paid a free agent visit to the Dolphins in March and accepted an offer after working out for them Monday.Miami was looking to add depth at running back following the loss of Lamar Miller to the Texans in free agency.After my visit with Miami, I kind of made my mind up that that was where I wanted to be, Foster said. I see a lot of promise in this team and feel like I add value.Jay Ajayi is expected to start after rushing for 187 yards as a rookie last year. Foster will likely compete for a backup role with third-round pick Kenyan Drake and veterans Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams.Injuries have limited Foster to 25 games in the past three years, and he played in just four games last season, averaging 2.6 yards per carry. He holds the Texans franchise record with 6,472 yards rushing, but hell turn 30 next month, and acknowledged the challenge of shopping his services in free agency.There was light interest and heavy interest, spotty, you know, here and there, he said. But this league knows that when Im on the field, Im one of the most productive doing it.Fosters most recent Pro Bowl season was 2014, when he rushed for 1,246 yards and caught passes for 327 in 13 games. He has 2,268 yards in career receptions, and new Miami coach Adam Gase likes to get backs involved in the passing game.Adam really knows how to use running backs out of the backfield, which I think is my best quality -- route-running and catching the ball, Foster said.Miami begins training camp July 29.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

WACO, Texas -- Baylor fans have grown accustomed to seeing offensive explosions in recent years, especially since moving into McLane Stadium in 2014.If the Bears last two home games are any indication, they might have to get used to watching them come from opponents.Kansas State freshman Alex Barnes rushed for 120 of his 129 yards and all four of his touchdowns in the second half to pace the Wildcats to 35 points during that span and a 42-21 win Saturday.I just liked that he did what he always does, and thats run extremely hard, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. He makes a few miss on his way sometimes, not always, but hes a gifted, powerful-type runner, which we have always known.It was the first win for the Wildcats (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) in Waco since 2002 and made them bowl eligible for the seventh straight season. Baylors 6-0 start seems a distant memory after its fourth consecutive defeat and its second in a row at home after a 62-22 drubbing from TCU two weeks ago.Barnes had only one carry in the first half, but it was his show after that, especially in the third quarter. Thats when scored three of his four touchdowns, and Kansas State held the ball for 11:37 and outgained Baylor 186-38.I knew that we, as a unit would have a big day on the ground, Barnes said. I didnt realize that it would be me specifically, but I knew we were going to get it done.Neither team got much done in the first half, but the Bears (6-4, 4-3) took a 14-7 lead into halftime thanks to cashing in a muffed punt and fumble that set them up at the Kansas State 25 and 40, respectively. But Baylor struggled to find offensive consistency all day, and Donnie Starks pulled in two of Zach Smiths three interceptions in the second half of his first career start.You always have to finish, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. Sometimes we have, sometimes we havent. You take two ballgames that have gone down to the wire, that shouldnt have, that go down to the last snap of the balllgame.dddddddddddd You have a chance to win, cant finish it off. So (it was nice) to be able to do that.Jesse Ertz threw for 177 yards and ran for 46 more, including a 40-yarder on a fourth-down run in the second quarter that set up Kansas States first score.Smith threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start, and Shock Linwood, Baylors all-time leading rusher, added 110 yards on 24 carries.We just didnt go out there and execute like we had to, Smith said. Kansas State came out and executed, and they played great football. We, offense or defense, didnt execute coming out for the second half. When you dont do that, you lose.THE TAKEAWAYKansas State: The Wildcats continued their success on the ground, eclipsing the 200-yard mark for the fourth straight game with 237 on 51 attempts.Baylor: The downward spiral continues for the Bears, who were held below 30 points for the third straight game. Baylor also failed to score a rushing touchdown for the first time in 39 games, snapping the longest active streak among Power Five conference teams.KEY NUMBERSKansas State: It was an uncharacteristically undisciplined first half with 80 yards in penalties and two turnovers, both of which resulted in Baylor touchdowns. The Wildcats cleaned the up in the second half with 5 penalty yards and no turnovers.Baylor: This was the fourth time Baylor was held scoreless in the first quarter this season. That happened to the Bears three times in the previous four seasons combined.UP NEXTKansas State returns home for a rivalry game with Kansas next Saturday. A Wildcat win would give Bill Snyder 200 for his career, making him the 26th coach in FBS history to reach that plateau.Baylor has no time to lick the wounds from its latest loss with a short week looming before a Friday tilt with Texas Tech at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
