Texans running back Arian Foster was a limited participant in today's practice, but I'm sensing a lot of optimism about his being able to play this week, barring a setback. Officially, head coach Bill O'Brien said Foster's status will be decided the night before the game or 90 minutes prior, when the Texans must announce inactives. Offensive linemen Brandon Brooks and Duane Brown, outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder), quarterback Ryan Mallett (chest) and tackle Derek Newton (ankle) were also limited.
