The Facts: According to HoustonTexans.com's Nick Scurfield, HC Gary Kubiak was fairly definite about Foster while speaking on his radio show. "We’re expecting Arian out there full-speed, ready to go."

Diehards Line:We'll go ahead and suggest you not get too excited about Foster's return until he proves himself healthy. Ben Tate ran for 82 yards on 19 carries in Foster's absence against the Saints on Sunday and the second year man seems to have proven himself capable enough for coaches to roll with him as needed. Tate did, however, tweak an ankle in New Orleans. Derrick Ward could also return from an ankle injury this week. It'll be interesting to see how the Texans manage the committee once are all at (or close enough to) full speed.
