Texans' Andre Johnson, Arian Foster expected to play Sunday vs. Cowboys
Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson and running back Arian Foster are expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, reports ESPN's Ed Werder.
Foster has been dealing with a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss the team's Week 3 loss to the Giants. He saw limited action in last week's win over Buffalo, rushing six yards on eight carries. The three-time Pro Bowler sat out eight games last season due to a back injury.
Johnson injured his ankle against the Bills, and missed two of three practices during the week.
“I’m fine, I was more scared than anything because I felt a pop, so I went in and got checked,” Johnson said after the Buffalo game.
