The Texans will activate safety Ed Reed from the physically unable to perform list Saturday and limit running back Arian Foster's carries in Houston's opener Sept. 9 in San Diego.

"He'll be back [Saturday] and we're hoping to do some field drills on Monday and Tuesday with our extra days, with him, with [head trainer Geoff Kaplan]," coach Gary Kubiak said of Reed. "So we'll probably make a quick decision early in the week, Monday or Tuesday on his availability for San Diego. But we're sitting here hoping and we'll see how that goes."
