No one doubts Mike Wallace's speed on the field. But the key to his season is how quick he is off of it.

Wallace, the team's leading receiver, skipped the team's first practice of the offseason and has yet to sign his $2.7 restricted free-agent tender. He isn't expected to attend any of the offseason workouts and could miss the start of training camp to protest the lack of a long-term deal.

This wouldn't be a problem in most offseasons. This one is different for the Steelers because it's the first with new offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

According to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, there is a 90 percent change from Bruce Arians' offense to this year's one. That's why it would be good -- although not necessary -- for Wallace to be in Pittsburgh to learn the new playbook.

My guess is it won't hurt Wallace too much. His favorite route is still the one where he runs straight down the field and beats the cornerback in a foot race. And it would be more important for Wallace to be here if the Steelers were changing quarterbacks instead of coordinators. Whenever he returns, whether it's the start of training camp or the middle of it, he will still have the same chemistry with Roethlisberger.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin called the current situation a little "short-term misery." Just don't expect it to be a long-term problem that extends to the regular season.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin insisted Tuesday he made the call to replace offensive coordinator Bruce Arians with Todd Haley and wasn't told to do so by team president Art Rooney II.

"I don't know where some of these perceptions come from," Tomlin told reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach, Fla.

Where did these perceptions come from? Maybe we should ask where to begin.

There are so many questions that remain unanswered by Tomlin, who spoke to reporters for the first time since Jan. 9. Why did he say that he anticipated Arians would return only to ask him to leave 11 days later? Why did Tomlin announce Arians was retiring? If Tomlin was the one who made the call to fire Arians, why was Rooney the one who actually made the phone call?

Tomlin, though, was asked if Rooney had any influence in Arians leaving.

"He didn't," Tomlin said. "I don't know where some of these perceptions come from. I don't break my neck to try to combat them in any way. I don't know where they come from."

Tomlin added, "And I hired Todd Haley as well, which is your next question, which is another funny one to me. And don't get me wrong, of course, Art Rooney owns the football team, he can do what he wants to do, but those directives did not happen."

Here's the timeline of what happened, and just like the old segment on "Monday Night Football" ... You Make the Call:

• On Jan. 9, a day after the Steelers' playoff loss at Denver, Tomlin said he anticipated both of his coordinators would return, although he added, "we all understand what the end of the season is about and movement is a part of it in today's NFL for both players and coaches."
• On Jan. 17, Rooney indicated that some members of the coaching staff were considering retirement.
• On Jan. 20, Tomlin announced in a statement that "Bruce Arians has informed me that he will retire from coaching."
• On Jan. 23, Arians told the York Daily Record that Rooney informed him that his contract wasn't being renewed.
• On Jan. 28, eight days after his "retirement announcement" by the Steelers, Arians joined the Indianapolis Colts as their offensive coordinator.

Here are some coaching moves around the division:

BENGALS: Cincinnati needs to fill the void left by defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle, who became the defensive coordinator with the Dolphins. It's expected that Cincinnati will also replace linebackers coach Jeff FitzGerald. Rod Woodson has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the defensive backs coaching job.

RAVENS: The team hired Don "Wink" Martindale as their new inside linebackers coach. Martindale, the Broncos' defensive coordinator in 2010, takes over for Dean Pees, who became the Ravens' defensive coordinator. Colts coach Chuck Pagano, the former Ravens defensive coordinator, hired two Ravens assistants: assistant special teams coach Marwan Maalouf and defensive assistant Roy Anderson. Defensive line coach Clarence Brooks, who was rumored to be leaving, attended the Ravens' State of the Team address.

STEELERS: In his introductory news conference, Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said "it was a great ride" when looking back at his five seasons as the Steelers' offensive coordinator. ... With linebackers coach Keith Butler staying, defensive assistant Jerry Olsavsky interviewed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' linebackers coaching job, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. If Butler had left, Olsavsky would have become the Steelers' linebackers coach.

There's a full-blown AFC North reunion going on with the Indianapolis Colts' coaching staff this year.

The Colts plan to hire Steelers linebackers coach Keith Butler as their defensive coordinator, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. In his nine years with Pittsburgh, Butler has been instrumental in the development of three Pro Bowl linebackers: James Farrior, James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley.

This comes a day after the Colts added former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians to run their offense. So, new Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, the former Ravens defensive coordinator, is bringing along two Steelers coaches to run his offense and defense.

But the AFC North ties run deeper than that. Pagano, Arians and Butler were together on Butch Davis' Browns coaching staff for two seasons (2001-02). I'm still trying to figure out how the Bengals play a part in this so every AFC North team is represented in this weekend's Colts coaching moves.

Former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians' "retirement" lasted eight days. And Arians has landed in an unlikely destination.

Arians has agreed to become the Indianapolis Colts' new offensive coordinator, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Why is that so unlikely?

Well, this move means last year's Steelers offensive coordinator will join last year's Ravens defensive coordinator. Chuck Pagano was named the Colts' head coach two days ago. Guess there is more respect than hate in the Steelers-Ravens rivalry, at least on the coaching end.

Arians' five-year run as Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator was disappointing considering the talent he had at the skill positions. But he will be a good fit for the Colts' in terms of scheme.

He was responsible for the Steelers going from a run-first to a pass-heavy offense. Whether the Colts are sticking with Peyton Manning or drafting Andrew Luck, Indianapolis will rely heavily on the passing game. The hiring of Arians certainly points in that direction.

At this point, it's assumed that the Colts and Manning are headed for a split. But, as one of our blog readers (SteelBlitz27) pointed out, this is a reunion for Arians and Manning. Arians was Manning's first quarterbacks coach, serving that role from 1998 to 2000.

Arians' return to coaching was a quick one. On Jan. 20, the Steelers sent out an official statement saying Arians had informed coach Mike Tomlin that he was retiring. A few days later, Arians revealed that he was pushed out after team president Art Rooney II informed him that his contract was not being renewed.

The Steelers and Colts don't play each other in the regular season in 2012.

Every morning, grab a cup of coffee and get your AFC North wake-up call here:

A shocked Ben Roethlisberger wants answers from team president Art Rooney II following the "retirement" of offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.

"When I get back, I'm going to go up to Mr. Rooney's office and ask him what he wants from me, what he wants from this offense, because I think that's a viable question for him," Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu. "He's our owner and our boss, so I really would like to know kind of what he wants and where he sees our offense going because I'd like to tell him where I see us going."

The Steelers announced Arians had retired, but he later said his contract wasn't renewed by the team. Arians had been the only offensive coordinator in coach Mike Tomlin's five seasons as Steelers head coach.

Roethlisberger, who is close with Arians, invited him to Hawaii as his guest for the Pro Bowl, but Arians decided not to go after he was no longer with the team.

Roethlisberger was described as being "miffed" by the timing of the Steelers' move with Arians.

"We feel like we are really close to being an elite offense," Roethlisberger told the Tribune-Review. "For your leader to be gone is kind of a shocker for us, but you've got to be ready for it, and whatever the Rooneys and coach Tomlin decide is our next step. I think the [Steelers'] mind was made up, and B.A. was kind of ready to move on as well."

Hensley's slant: Roethlisberger has to be worried about the direction of the offense. Team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Rooney wants the offense to go back to its blue-collar identity of the past. The trouble is, the Steelers are built to throw the ball with one of the best young and fast receiving groups in the league. You can criticize Arians' play calling. But it's hard to argue that the Steelers should go back to a run-first offense.

BENGALS: Mike Zimmer is returning for his fifth season as the Bengals defensive coordinator, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported, after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired Rutgers' Greg Schiano as their head coach. Zimmer also had been in the running for the Miami Dolphins job before Joe Philbin was hired. While Zimmer is coming back, defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle is expected to be named the Dolphins' defensive coordinator. Hensley's slant: If the Bengals had their way, this is how it would have played out. Cincinnati didn't want to lose Coyle, but it was more important to keep Zimmer. The Bengals defense will remain a top-10 one under his direction.

BROWNS: Brad Childress is close to becoming the Browns' offensive coordinator, sources told The Plain Dealer. For more, click on the AFC North blog posted last night. Hensley's slant: My take on the probable hiring will be posted shortly.

RAVENS: In his introductory news conference as the new Colts head coach, former Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano said he went from an all-time low -- the loss in the AFC championship game was his most devastating one ever -- to an all-time high. “As fate would have it, I’ve got to be honest with you, I thought for sure that I was going to be coming to Indy to play for a world championship," Pagano said, via The Indianapolis Star. "That’s what I thought I was going to be coming here for, and certainly not standing before you today as the next head football coach of the Indianapolis Colts." Hensley's slant: Don't be surprised if Pagano takes some Ravens with him. Pagano's first target should be outside linebacker Jarret Johnson, who will be a free agent, because he'll need a leader who can explain the defensive system to the other players. It would be like when Rex Ryan brought Bart Scott along to the New York Jets. Defensive line coach Clarence Brooks could also follow Pagano to Indianapolis.

While two defensive coordinators from the AFC North (Cincinnati's Mike Zimmer and Baltimore's Chuck Pagano) are being interviewed for head-coaching jobs, it was a disappointing season for those calling the plays for the division's offenses.

That's why the Steelers' Bruce Arians says he was pushed out, why the Browns are adding an offensive coordinator to Pat Shurmur's staff and why the Ravens' Cam Cameron is currently in contract limbo.

There is a chance that three new offensive coordinators could in place by next season. The only one who is safe is the Bengals' Jay Gruden, who signed a three-year, $3.6 million extension.

No AFC North offense ranked in the top 9 in the NFL in total yards, rushing, passing or points scored. There were only two areas where a division offense ranked in the top 10 -- the Ravens' rushing attack and the Steelers' passing game.

The Steelers' search to replace Arians could heat up this week at the Senior Bowl. Pittsburgh, which ranked 12th overall in offense, has a history of promoting from within at this position. That means quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner and offensive line coach Sean Kugler could have the best shot at the job. Running backs coach Kirby Wilson was considered to be next in line, but he was badly burned in a fire at his home and might not return to the team anytime soon.

The Browns are adding an offensive coordinator after first-year head coach Pat Shurmur served that role in 2011 and Cleveland's offense finished 29th. Shurmur is still interviewing candidates and could continue to do so at this week's Senior Bowl, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Two coaches who are considered to be on the Browns' radar -- Mike Sherman and Brad Childress -- could take jobs elsewhere. Sherman is the first candidate to get a second interview for the Tampa Bay head-coaching position and is a candidate to become the Dolphins' offensive coordinator. Childress has been linked to the head-coaching searches in Tampa Bay and Indianapolis.

It's uncertain what the Ravens will do with Cameron after the offense finished 15th overall. Cameron's contract is set to expire and there's no extension on the table, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Sunday. He is one of the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL, making $2 million per season, according to a league source. Ravens coach John Harbaugh hasn't met with reporters since his postgame session following the AFC Championship Game. If Cameron doesn't return, the Ravens would probably consider former Raiders head coach Hue Jackson, who was the Ravens' quarterbacks coach in Joe Flacco's first two seasons in the NFL.

Every morning, grab a cup of coffee and get your AFC North wake-up call here:

Bruce Arians said he decided to retire only after the Steelers declined to give him a contract offer, the former offensive coordinator told The York Daily Record.

While he maintains he had considered retiring before, "when I wasn't offered a contract, it was an easy decision for me."

Steelers president Art Rooney II called Arians about the team's decision. So, what was the Steelers' reason? "I can't answer that question," Arians said. "Only the people there can. That's the business. I know the job we did as a staff. I don't have any regrets."

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger didn't take the news well, according to Arians. He publicly campaigned to keep Arians after the 2009 season when it looked like the coordinator's job was in jeopardy.

"He's not happy, but that's part of the business," Arians said. "He is happy for me."

Arians hasn't ruled out a return to coaching. He said he's been contacted by "five or six" new coaching job possibilities since being let go by the Steelers, although only one was intriguing. He declined to get into specifics.

Hensley's slant: The Steelers have a couple of potential problems brewing here. How are they going to handle Roethlisberger if he is unhappy about this decision? And is coach Mike Tomlin upset as well? By Arians' account, it appears that Rooney -- and not Tomlin -- made this call. This puts even more pressure on Pittsburgh to make the right hire, one that will satisfy both Tomlin and Roethlisberger.

BENGALS: The team is getting new practice and playing fields, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Bengals officials said the fields had to get upgraded before the move of training camp from Georgetown College to Paul Brown Stadium this summer. Hensley's slant: The Bengals made a good move by agreeing to pay $850,000 to replace two of the three practice fields when they didn't have to do so. Under the lease with the county, taxpayers could have been forced to pay for that. Government officials say this is a "great sign" that the team is willing to work with the county.

BROWNS: Tim Hauck was named the team's defensive backs coach after being a former player under Browns president Mike Holmgren and defensive coordinator Dick Jauron when they were all with Green Bay, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He replaces Jerome Henderson, who reunited with Rob Ryan in Dallas. Hensley's slant: Hauck inherits a group with two young starters in Joe Haden and T.J. Ward. But he also has to improve the secondary in one key area. The Browns were tied for the third-fewest interceptions in the NFL with nine.

RAVENS: Defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano is scheduled to be interviewed for the Colts' head-coaching job Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. In their first season under Pagano, the Ravens' defense finished third in both yards and points allowed. Pagano's biggest impact came in generating more pressure. Baltimore finished third in the NFL in sacks (48) this season after recording a team-record-low 27 in 2010. Hensley's slant: The Colts already have six coaches on their radar, so it looks like Indianapolis is casting a wide search. But Pagano definitely has a shot at becoming a head coach in the future based on the Ravens' history. The first three defensive coordinators in team history (Marvin Lewis, Mike Nolan and Rex Ryan) all became NFL head coaches.

The fact that Bruce Arians isn't returning as the Steelers' offensive coordinator next season was expected.

It had been speculated all week that he was going to retire or the Steelers weren't going to renew his contract. In the end, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it was all of the above. The paper reported that the team decided not to renew Arians' one-year contract and that led to a one-paragraph statement announcing his retirement.

The interesting part of this situation is that the decision not the retain Arians appeared to come from someone higher in the organization than Tomlin, according to the Post-Gazette. Sources told that paper that Tomlin had told Arian several times since the end of the season that he wanted him back for 2012 and Arians told people that he intended to come back.

Having the final say in hiring and firing assistants is one of the most important powers for a head coach, especially an established one.

But team president Art Rooney II indicated that it wasn't his call. Asked if he wanted Arians to return as offensive coordinator, Rooney told a Pittsburgh television station, "That's really Mike's decision."

The end result is the same -- Arians is out as offensive coordinator and the Steelers need to find someone who can get this group to reach its full potential.

When the Steelers hire a new offensive coordinator, Pittsburgh doesn't need to change Bruce Arians' offense. The Steelers just need to set their sights higher.

Arians, 59, who retired Friday, should be commended for transitioning a run-first offense into a pass heavy one that took advantage of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's arm. The results, though, were disappointing when looking at Pittsburgh's talent at the skill positions.

With Roethlisberger's downfield passing and ability to extend plays, the Steelers have so many playmaking options: go deep to Mike Wallace, hit Antonio Brown over the middle or find Heath Miller down the seam.

There was no excuse for the Steelers to rank 12th in scoring in 2009 and 2010. And there was really no excuse for them to rank 21st this past season.

Pittsburgh only averaged 20.3 points per game this season and scored over 30 points three times. The Steelers might not have as much offensive talent as Green Bay or New Orleans, but they should be scoring as many points as Detroit (29.6-point average).

Instead, Pittsburgh finished among the dysfunctional offenses in terms of scoring. Of the 10 offenses that averaged fewer points than the Steelers, six had starting quarterbacks benched or injured for a significant amount of time (Arizona, Denver, Washington, Indianapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis). The other four offenses below Pittsburgh all endured seasons with struggling quarterbacks: Seattle's Tarvaris Jackson, Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman, Jacksonville's Blaine Gabbert and Cleveland's Colt McCoy.

Arians put together the right profile for this offense. Roethlisberger, who threw for more than 4,000 yards in two of the past three seasons, is proof of that.

The challenge for the next offensive coordinator is to take a good offense and make it a great one.

Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has decided to retire after days of speculation that he would do so.

Arians, 59, has been the only offensive coordinator in coach Mike Tomlin's five seasons with the Steelers. Pittsburgh ranked in the top half of the NFL in offense over the past three seasons, but finished a disappointing 12th this past season.

He had contemplated retirement at the end of the 2010 season because of health problems. During his time as coordinator, he turned the Steelers from a run-first team to a pass-heavy one to better suit quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

"Bruce Arians has informed me that he will retire from coaching," Tomlin said in a statement. "I appreciate his efforts over the past five years as the team’s offensive coordinator, and for helping lead our offense to new heights during his time with the Steelers. I am grateful to Bruce for contributing to our success and wish him nothing but the best in his retirement."

The Steelers are expected to promote from within the coaching staff.

I will provide more of my thoughts this afternoon.

Every morning, grab a cup of coffee and get your AFC North wake-up call here:

Browns owner Randy Learner stressed that he does care about the team despite a reputation of being an "absentee owner."

"I do care. Of course I care," Lerner told WTAM-AM radio in Cleveland, via The Chronicle-Telegram. "I don't know ways of showing you care are clear to me other than to provide support and show up. It sickens me when we lose games. It sickens me when we have a season like we’ve just had."

Lerner believes president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert are the right men to guide the Browns into the playoffs.

“It’s not a business where you’re going to get time,” Lerner said. “But we’re not going to get anywhere if you keep turning this thing over. Mike Holmgren is as honorable and committed a football leader as I’ve been around.”

Hensley's slant: Lerner has repeatedly shown that he cares when he has fired coaches and general managers in search of the winning combination. If he didn't care, he would keep the status quo so he doesn't have to pay ex-members of the staff even after they leave. It's not a question of whether he cares or not. It's a question of whether he'll get the right people in place.

BENGALS: Mike Zimmer is now on the radar of the Indianapolis Colts, who have asked for permission to speak to the Bengals defensive coordinator about their head-coaching position, according to ESPN and the Indianapolis Star. It's been a busy month for Zimmer, who remains in the running for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coaching job but was eliminated from consideration for the Miami Dolphins' opening. Hensley's slant: It's hard to gauge the Colts' interest in Zimmer because it's so early in their search process. Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael and Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray are also expected to interview with the Colts. It's still a good sign that teams are interested in speaking to Zimmer. He just has to wonder whether getting turned down by multiple teams this year would hurt his stock going forward.

STEELERS: A decision on offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is expected soon, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The paper reported this week that Arians might not return to the team. If Arians is gone, the Steelers are expected to promote from within. According to the Post-Gazette, running backs coach Kirby Wilson was Arians' likely successor, but his health, after suffering severe burns over 45 percent of his body in a fire Jan. 6 at his home, "precludes that possibility." Hensley's slant: Why shouldn't the Steelers promote from within? It's been a successful formula for the Steelers to maintain some continuity at offensive coordinator. This has worked with Tom Moore, Chan Gailey, Mike Mularkey, Ken Whisenhunt and Arians.

RAVENS: There will be continued coverage of the team today heading into the AFC Championship Game, from the prediction blog to a column on Ed Reed to the Final Word blog.

Every morning, grab a cup of coffee and get your AFC North wake-up call here:

Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians might not return to the Steelers for the 2012 season, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

It's unclear whether Arians is retiring or his contract is not being renewed, the paper reported. Arians, 57, is finishing the final year of his contract with Pittsburgh.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin indicated that Arians would return a day after the Steelers' playoff loss at Denver. But team president Art Rooney II said this week that some members of the coaching staff were considering retirement, and Arians contemplated doing so after the 2010 season because of health problems.

Hensley's slant: Arians has taken some heat for transitioning the Steelers from a run-first offense to a pass-heavy one. His play-calling has been questionable at times but his results have been solid. The Steelers have ranked in the top half of the NFL in offense for three straight seasons. If this report is correct, it will be interesting to hear Ben Roethlisberger's reaction.

Here's your game-day warm-up:

SAN DIEGO -- I'll be covering the Ravens at Chargers game tonight, but I will have wrap-ups for the afternoon games involving the Bengals and Browns. The Steelers play at the 49ers on Monday night.

Here's a look at the quarterback storylines for the division:

BENGALS: Andy Dalton, who plays at St. Louis today, has enjoyed more success than most rookie quarterbacks on the road, throwing 12 touchdowns and six interceptions for an 85.1 passer rating. He needs 139 passing yards to surpass Joe Flacco for the fifth-most by a rookie quarterback in NFL history.

BROWNS: Seneca Wallace replaces an injured Colt McCoy (concussion) today at Arizona and takes over an offense that ranks 30th in scoring (13.7 points per game). Wallace, 31, makes his first start since October 2010. "To see another quarterback execute and operate with the players on the field may help us learn something about everybody involved," coach Pat Shurmur said, via The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

RAVENS: Joe Flacco, who plays tonight at San Diego, is tied with Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers for the most road wins since 2008 with 20. In those victories, Flacco has thrown 23 touchdowns and five interceptions for a 93.8 passer rating.

STEELERS: Ben Roethlisberger (ankle) is questionable at San Francisco after limited participation in Friday and Saturday practices. Charlie Batch would replace Roethlisberger, according to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. Roethlisberger hasn't missed a game due to injury since November 2009.

Every morning, grab a cup of coffee and get your AFC North wake-up call here:

Browns quarterback Colt McCoy is seeking his first win in the AFC North. He is 0-7 heading into Thursday night's game at the Steelers.

"Trust me," he told the Associated Press. "I know my record."

McCoy made his first NFL start at Pittsburgh in October 2010, when he completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 yards and a touchdown. But he also threw two interceptions and was sacked five times.

"I can't even think back that far," McCoy said. "That was so long ago."

Hensley's slant: McCoy has the unenviable job of playing the defenses of Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati -- all of which rank in the top 10 against the pass -- twice a season. Outside the division, his passer rating is 80.3 and his completion rate is 61.1. Inside the division, his passer rating is 66.9 and his completion rate is 47.7. It's a challenge he has to conquer if he wants to establish himself as the Browns' franchise quarterback.

BENGALS: Cincinnati isn't making any changes after its special-teams collapse in Pittsburgh last Sunday, according to the team's website. There was a blocked field goal, a fumble on a kickoff return and a punt return allowed for a touchdown. This is unlike the Bengals, who have won the field position battle in 10 of the previous 11 games while appearing in the top 10 in several categories like punt coverage, touchbacks and field-goal percentage. Hensley's slant: The Bengals can't afford these types of lapses going forward because their margin of error to reach the playoffs is so small. The focus this week will be containing Houston punt returner Jacoby Jones, who was the last player before Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown to score off a punt return against Cincinnati. Jones ranks eighth in the NFL with a 11.1-yard punt-return average.

STEELERS: Starting right guard Ramon Foster told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he plans on playing Thursday night against the Browns after practicing Tuesday. Foster suffered a low ankle sprain in Sunday's 25-7 rout of Cincinnati. "He's a tough dude," Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said. "He should be all right." Hensley's slant: Avoiding another lineup change is a positive for the offensive line, which has gained some chemistry once the injury and performance issues were fixed. Foster forms a young and talented right side with rookie tackle Marcus Gilbert. Foster doesn't have great agility but he shows power at the line.
