As expected, the Houston Texans will have Arian Foster back in the lineup against the Dolphins.

Foster is active and in the lineup after missing Week One with a hamstring injury. Coach Gary Kubiak said that we could expect as much earlier this week and made it official when he handed in his inactives a short time ago. Ben Tate will back up Foster with Derrick Ward sitting this one out thanks to an ankle injury.

The Texans will be without wide receiver Kevin Walter, who will miss the contest after hurting his shoulder last week against the Colts. Jacoby Jones will take his place.

On the other side, the Dolphins will be without free safety Chris Clemons for the second straight game and fullback Charles Clay is also inactive for the contest. Reshard Jones will start at safety.
