MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins search for a running back to replace Lamar Miller has not gone very well so far this offseason.
After losing Miller to the Houston Texans, Miami lost out on their bid to sign C.J. Anderson when the Denver Broncos matched the Dolphins offer sheet.
Soon after that the Dolphins brought veteran back Chris Johnson in for a visit he choose to re-sign with the Arizona Cardinals shortly afterwards.
It seems that Miami is moving on to their next option as ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that free agent Arian Foster will visit with the Dolphins on Tuesday.
Former Texans RB Arian Foster is scheduled to visit the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, per source.

Foster, 29, has suffered through injuries in recent years.
He is currently rehabbing from a torn Achilles that happened last season, and that came after missing time due to a groin injury he sustained during training camp.
He also missed time in 2013 due to a back injury but came back strong in 2014, rushing for 1,246 yards and eight touchdowns.
Should Miami decide to sign Foster, which is unlikely this week because he still can't go full speed, he would share time with second year back Jay Ajayi.
The Dolphins are likely brining in Foster at this stage to see where he is medically.
He's on the team's radar but his health will obviously play a big part in how interested Miami is.
