Arian Foster (hamstring) returned to Texans practice on Wednesday.

Coach Gary Kubiak described Foster's practice participation as a "normal Wednesday load for a starter." The indication there is that the Texans expect Foster to start against Miami. "Everything was positive," added Kubiak. "If he can play, you play. There won't be being careful with him." Foster will have to make it through the week setback-free, but early signs are very encouraging. The Texans were smart to avoid rushing Foster back for Week 1. Ben Tate and Derrick Ward will go back to the bench if Foster starts.

Wish we wouldn't have to deal with him for this game too... Hopefully our run D returns to form

That system does well with a lot a running backs. While Foster is a good RB, his presence in the lineup is not like missing AP. Id rather he didn't play because he uses the system well with his skill set, but his return is not a huge gash.

I envy the Texans and their RB depth. Foster, Tate, Ward, Slaton. Nice. Especially when you compare it to ours which features a scatback as the feature back, a dinged up rookie, and 1 million year old Larry Johnson.
